Critic Reviews for Psychomagic, a Healing Art

All Critics (13) | Top Critics (6) | Fresh (10) | Rotten (3)

In practice, psychomagic is, per Jodorowsky tradition, more than a bit out-there.

Nick Schager
The Daily Beast
Set to an ominous score by Jodorowsky's son Adan, the movie drifts into jarring new territory every few minutes.

Eric Kohn
indieWire
There's little to be learned from its two nudity-replete yet tedious hours.

August 7, 2020 | Rating: D | Full Review…

Charles Bramesco
AV Club
It's indulgent, absurd, frustrating, and more than a little gross. It's also idiosyncratic and funny enough, and in ways that Jodo's fans will probably love.

Simon Abrams

For a lot of people, it will be difficult to accept Jodorowsky as any kind of healer.

Glenn Kenny
New York Times
Whether or not the 91-year-old Alejandro Jodorowsky makes another film, Psychomagic could easily stand as a fitting encapsulation of the themes of suffering and transcendence that have run throughout his work.

Slant Magazine
Jodorowsky's magnetism makes it worth it, but the session could have been shorter. [Full Review in Spanish]

Psychomagic, sadly, isn't art; it's advertising.

I want to believe, but Jodorowsky's method of healing deep-rooted trauma through provocative performance art therapy brings out my inner skeptic.

Morgan Rojas
Cinemacy
It's uncomfortable, and sometimes appalling, but to the artist, it's all part of existence, impurity an inescapable element of life and truth.

Pat Padua
Spectrum Culture
Students of psychology and fans of Jodorowsky will find it endlessly fascinating, if not extremely uncomfortable.

August 8, 2020 | Rating: 6/10 | Full Review…

Lorry Kikta
Film Threat
Magic or not, the joy is in the theatricality of it all, which, as always in Jodorowsky's work, is boldly on display.
