First off, I'm quite a Gaspar Noé fan, and I have watched every movie since "I stand alone" - I liked every single one of them, and especially Climax really surprised me with how good it was.
This movie however leaves me with very mixed feelings. 90% of the movie consists dialog which is either meaningless or leaves alot of room for interpretation, but, in any case, wasn't very entertaining to watch. The other 10% make anyone familiar with Noé's work instantly recognize his trademark visuals. These 10% are really painful to watch, but not for the reasons you might expect from a "classic" Noé movie. In the end, the movie left me pretty unsatisfied. The visuals were pretty interesting at times, yes, and would have been perfect for a music video, but they don't save save the movie from feeling dull.
I would still recommend it for fans of this director, as it is definitely an unusual movie, just don't expect anything mindblowing or truly disturbing!
