Movie Reviews

“It’s a daringly queer and undoubtedly controversial ride, resulting in a most uncommon monster movie — a cross between David Cronenberg’s “Crash” and the uterine horrors of Takashi Miike’s “Gozu,” perhaps” Peter Debruge: Variety

“The opening scenes (…) possess an energy and inventiveness that the remainder never matches, despite its consistently rich, fiery look and fleshy sound design (…) Rating: ??? (out of 4)” Pat Brown: Slant

“There is much to decode regarding birth, maternity, independence, sexual preference, unconscious bias (…) Titane is ambitious, and not quite in Raw’s league, but it’s never dull.” Anna Smith: Deadline
