Megalopolis

I love the earnestness, sincerity, and ingenuity behind this... I can't say it's good, but I think people should see it -- and in IMAX to take in the enormity of it all.

...unabashedly, absurdly theatrical, with boldly unnatural dialogue and performances, ostentatious imagery, and one extended cross-cutting sequence that’s as potent as any Coppola has produced.

A zero-star, wacko disaster...

I liked it—it has what’s missing from contemporary multiplex fare: originality, ambition, mettle. And that’s what I turn to Coppola for.

It's also endlessly fascinating and a little extraordinary, a movie so insistent on bucking contemporary cinematic trends that it could only be self-funded by an octogenarian artist-turned–wine baron...

It’s less like a fully coherent narrative and more like a fun project for theater kids and their friends who recently got into computer animation.

Megalopolis is a brave independent exploration of creativity that can be more easily enjoyed when accepted for what it is.

A verbose, bombastic, overloaded and at the same time, yes, fascinating film.[Full review in Spanish]

Megalopolis is chaotic, but it initially feels as though Coppola is in control of it. And then, not unlike a certain empire the filmmaker is obsessed with, cracks start to form and the center can no longer hold.

...amid or perhaps beneath the chaos, the film is constructed almost entirely from clichés.
