Critics' reviews
- "Not clever enough to be truly pretentious."
- "'Enter the Void' inspires ambivalence. Aside from its technical brilliance, it is an experience equally sublime and infuriating, revelatory and painful, ecstatic and terrifying"
- "Director Gaspar Noé proved a shock poet in 'Irreversible' (2003). In Enter the Void, he's a shockingly tedious show-off"
- "A dazzling and brutal exercise in cinematic envelope-pushing."
