Holy Motors is wild and unfettered and playful – the work of an artist who carries a love of cinema in his bones, and knows how to share that affection with the audience.

Holy Motors is the closing movie of Trieste Science+Fiction 2012, an edition full of satisfactions and emotions. A stellar cast, including Dennis Lavant, Kylie Minogue, Eva Mendes and Michel Piccoli, orchestrated by Leos Carax. Immerse yourself in the streets of Paris, and change the image as Monsieur Oscar does. After all, what is cinema but a dream that changes with each viewing?
As cryptic and unpredictable as that premise might suggest.
Chicago Reader
It’s rare that we get the chance to encounter anything this freely inventive, this amusing, this ineffably sad and, yet, this full of life.
Mountain Xpress
A film that not only demands repeat viewings but also makes that an attractive proposition.
