(1 - 30) of 30 OFCS Rating: 68% Fresh Page   1   "Dolorosa pero obligada, y de factura excelente."   Cinenganos   Alex Ramirez 2.5/4 "Strangely enough, this collection of gimmickry, brutality, and hollow stylings is best at its least visceral."   Film Freak Central   Bill Chambers C "Noé is here to remind us the world is ugly. That'll be ten bucks, please, and would you like some popcorn with your nausea?"   AboutFilm.com   Carlo Cavagna "The emotional (and ethical) catch is this: though the characters are unable to see beyond their separate, present moments, you know the fallouts from jump."   PopMatters   Cynthia Fuchs C "All style and shock."   Ozus' World Movie Reviews   Dennis Schwartz 2/4 "Gaspar Noé positions Irréversible as a structuralist countdown, but a structuralist wank job is more like it."   Slant Magazine   Ed Gonzalez "Es difícil recordar otra experiencia tan perturbadora, en la que los recursos de lenguaje colocan al espectador en un estado sensorial difícil de explicar con palabras."   Uruguay Total   Enrique Buchichio B- "Offers much to ponder about the nature of fate, the futility of revenge and the fragility of life."   EricDSnider.com   Eric D. Snider A- "It should not be dismissed as cheap gimmickry or a shock tactic."   Film Blather   Eugene Novikov D- "Irredeemable...just a pointlessly nasty violence-and-vengeance tale told backwards for 'effect.'"   One Guy's Opinion   Frank Swietek 3.5/4 "Those up to a challenge who attend with an open mind will find something to gnaw at the soul."   ReelViews   James Berardinelli 3.5/4 "A project of vast extremes, a flagrant affirmation of absolute darkness and light."   Palo Alto Weekly   Jeanne Aufmuth 8/10 "Irreversible overdoes things, but the experience of watching it is an unforgettable one."   Window to the Movies   Jeffrey Chen 3.5/4 "The unbroken shots give this nightmare a lucid, inevitable, and inescapable feel that goes a long way toward selling the horror that's presented."   MovieMartyr.com   Jeremy Heilman 7/10 "This movie is over-the-top and infuriating at times, but in the end, I consider it a success on some very ****ed up level."   JoBlo's Movie Emporium   JoBlo 9/10 "Dizzying, shocking and ****ing beautiful"   Planet Sick-Boy   Jon Popick 4/4 "Noé’s initially disconcerting stylistic choices and the extreme violence are justified when you look at the bigger picture."   Montreal Film Journal   Kevin N. Laforest A- "...one must remember that director Gaspar Noe is presenting fictional images to support his cynical response to Stanley Kubrick's hopeful "2001.""   Reeling Reviews   Laura Clifford "This isn’t a film you merely watch -- it’s a film you survive... or you don’t, if you walk out of it."   Flick Filosopher   MaryAnn Johanson 1.5/5 "Irréversible has virtually nothing unique to say about 21st century human relations or society."   Filmcritic.com   Nick Schager 5/5 "Quando o filme chegou ao fim, confesso que chorei – não pelo que havia acontecido, mas sim em função do que ainda iria acontecer."   Cinema em Cena   Pablo Villaca 5/5 "Noe is a confrontational master, no question."   eFilmCritic.com   Rob Gonsalves 1/5 "... film does make one point beautifully: no matter which way a story is told, a bad script cannot be salvaged."   JWR   S. James Wegg B "Gaspar Noe uses the cinema as an assault weapon..."   Seattle Post-Intelligencer   Sean Axmaker C "This story told in natural progression would be far too ironic and predictable to hold our interest."   Eclipse Magazine   Sean O'Connell "Click here to see review"   Wolf Entertainment Guide   William Wolf 10/10 Read review   Modamag.com   Brian Orndorf 1/4 Read review   Big Picture Big Sound   Joe Lozito Read review   Monsters At Play   Lawrence P.
