In spite of its wonderfully unusual premise and talented cast, Upside Down fails to offer much in the way of compelling drama to anchor its admittedly dazzling visuals.

A Romeo and Juliet story for the age of CGI overkill, Upside Down zigs where it should zag and dulls where it should dazzle. April 25, 2013 | Rating: 2/4 | Full Review…

Simply put, this is one of the craziest films to come along in a while and I can confidently say that anyone who sees it will either hail it is some kind of crackpot masterpiece or dismiss it as one of the silliest damn things they've ever seen. March 15, 2013 | Rating: 3.5/4 | Full Review…

It doesn't really develop its story, or its themes. It doesn't truly draw out its characters. It evokes no serious emotions. It has - in the end - no gravity. March 15, 2013 | Rating: 2/4 | Full Review…

"Upside Down" is such a gorgeous wreck that I could almost sense Terry Gilliam somewhere muttering, "Wait a minute, I should have been the one to screw up this idea." March 15, 2013 | Rating: 1.5/4 | Full Review…

Unfortunately, there's absolutely no character development, tossing a poorly realized and mundane love story at us that's furthered only by its nicely varnished visuals. August 8, 2019 | Full Review…

Earnest and tedious, Upside Down is lean on narrative and long on gobbledygook. October 29, 2018 | Rating: 1.5/5 | Full Review…

Bizarre romantic fantasy Upside Down is mostly desperately twee, but Argentine director Juan Solanas displays flashes of visual ingenuity, while Timothy Spall adds amusingly sympathetic support as Adam's cigar-chomping ally. November 24, 2017 | Rating: 2/5 | Full Review…

[Upside Down] a designer's dream, but the dialogue is forced and the film is dependent on its aesthetic value. August 11, 2017 | Full Review…
