Critics Consensus

Stylish but hollow, Lux Æterna represents a frustrating regression for writer-director Gaspar Noé.

Anton Bitel Little White Lies Jun 6, 2022
this “dream-like movie”, shot metacinematically behind the scenes, exposes the ugliness of a set, and of society, while also finding room in its ultimate, flickering apocalypse for a peak moment of multi-hued rapture. Go to Full Review

It works in some ways -- there's a sensory attack to this film. Go to Full Review

Knowing how dazzling Noé can be when he’s fully engaged on a full-length movie could’ve left Lux Æterna feeling like a bit of a letdown, but it’s a freaking Yves Saint Laurent advert! Go to Full Review

...Lux Aeterna‘s slapdash 5-day assembly and experimental approach to storytelling re-centers the beautiful nightmare niche of movies whose strongest pull are the vibes they wrap you in from start to finish...unease you can’t quite grasp but...feel Go to Full Review

3.5/5
Although it may seem like a gimmick at times, for the most part Gaspar Noé’s Lux Æterna engages and entrances with its split-screen techniques and bad-acid trip neon stylistic tendencies. Go to Full Review

9/10
In true Noé fashion, Lux Æterna is a f*cking trip. Love him or hate him, there is no other director like Gaspar Noé, and any opportunity to experience his unique brand of creative insanity is a sacrament I happily receive. Go to Full Review

Jordan May 30, 2022 If youre familiar with Gaspars films, youll know what to expect. This 52 minute film follows a similar path of its predecessor Climax in terms of flow. Slow beginning, then a fast paced remainder. Once it ends, its up to you as the viewer to determine if there was a lot to unpack, or if its just art at its most pretentious. I fall in the category of the former. I look forward to seeing Vortex next! See more

emily K @QueenOnion Jan 3, 2026 This is a beautiful and surreal work of art. Its nothing less than I would expect from Gaspar Noe. It's a disorienting glimpse into the sometimes ugly world of art and art inspiration. See more
thiago s @Thiagostone Jan 20, 2025 Filme mais ou menos, o roteiro é mais ou menos, o filme mostra uma gravação de Um filme que é meio doido, esse filme tem cenas psicodélicas e para quem tiver epilepsia vai desmaiar na hora. See more
Jonathan B @JB2426 Sep 22, 2024 Truly awful waste if time using two big names without a trailer to get you to part with your money. Zero redeeming features. Irritating lighting bordering on dangerous levels of strobe. Avoid. See more
