Resnais breaches multiple conventional boundaries- between ancient and modern, theater and film, and even life and death-and embraces digital postproduction to create a marvelously fluid cinematic space that extends his lifelong surrealist project.
August 27, 2019 | Full Review… -
What affects us most is Resnais's ingenious idea. And that affect is magnified by a surprise ending.
July 12, 2013 | Full Review… -
Resnais' occasional use of split-screen and other traditional special effects enhances the picture's various dualities, dreamy quality and decided staginess.
July 5, 2013 | Rating: 3/5 | Full Review… -
Despite some hyperbolic excess, the process of Resnais' production is unexpected and free, and revisits the very nature of cinema, and theater, with a wondrous eye.
June 13, 2013 | Rating: 3.5/4 | Full Review… -
There is something both mischievous and moving about a world-famous director who, closing on his 10th decade, designs a movie that celebrates his actors: their varying ages, their versatility, their heart.
June 7, 2013 | Rating: 3.5/4 | Full Review… -
"You Ain't Seen Nothin' Yet" is a sly, elegant meditation on the relationship between reality and artifice. But it is a thought-experiment driven above all by emotion.

Audience Reviews for You Ain't Seen Nothin' Yet

Aug 06, 2015In "You Ain't Seen Nothin' Yet," famed playwright Antoine d'Anthac(Denis Podalydes) has died. His last request is for some of his favorite actors and other creative collaborators to meet at his house. What he would like them to do is judge a new version of his play "Eurydice" performed by a warehouse theatre group who apparently spent most of their budget on a cool looking pendulum. Even with one seriously wonky framing sequence, director Alain Resnais, with his penultimate film "You Ain't Seen Nothin' Yet," turns two of his favorite obsessions, theatre and surrealism, into a mindblowing experience. Throughout the body of the movie, with a little help from split screen, he seamlessly combines three productions of a play(starring Sabine Azema & Pierre Arditi, Anne Consigny & Lambert Wilson and Vimala Pons & Sylvain Dieuaide respectively) that occasionally inhabit the same space.(Thus proving we have to find out to how to clone Mathieu Amalric.) This is no mere experiment as it allows the viewer to not only see the differences in various adaptations but more specifically in how the actors interpret the work.Walter M Super Reviewer

Dec 10, 2013I'd be tempted to think the film was all just some pretentious exercise if it wasn't so moving. Resnais (who's 91 by the way) has put together something totally remarkable here, as he combines so many different styles and still manages to make the film thematically consistent.Alec B Super Reviewer

Oct 23, 2012Interesting. For a while. The first hour of the film is quite fascinating and the acting is strong. But then it switches to autopilot and the originality of the approach of the beginning wears out. The ending is a bit rushed too.Hugo S Super Reviewer

Sep 30, 2012The theatricalization of Cinema as intended by Resnais may be absorbing at first as it explores a touching sense of nostalgia from the characters/actors, but this scene play is not compelling enough to deserve two hours, becoming artificial and vapid after a while.Carlos M Super Reviewer
