Leave your thoughts about Incredible But True.
| The PlaylistElena LazicDupieux, a director who has always been attuned to the absurd humor and casual beauty of the every day, effortlessly aligns us with Alain’s perspective. |
| IndieWireBen CrollLike nearly all of Dupieux’s previous work, Incredible but True stretches a high-concept, low-execution premise about as far as it can go, wrapping things up the nanosecond before they outstay their welcome. But unlike his previous work, this film leaves the viewer with a pleasant, and almost bittersweet aftertaste; it almost leaves you wanting more. |
| The Hollywood ReporterJordan MintzerWhat makes it quite fun, and definitely funny in spots, is how realistically Dupieux depicts events, turning the outlandish into something entirely credible, at least for the main characters. We never doubt the sincerity of their actions, which makes us believe things even when they can’t be true. |
| The GuardianPeter BradshawIncredible But True has a wacky premise that Dupieux very possibly had no idea how to develop. And yet I found myself laughing quite a lot of the time. The sheer silliness and zen pointlessness is entertaining. |
| The New York TimesJeannette CatsoulisComing in at a tight and talky 74 minutes, Incredible but True is a sweetly absurd time-travel comedy that coats its lunacy in a touching poignancy. |
| VarietyJessica KiangIncredible but True is a fun little trinket that unmistakably comes from Dupieux’s far-out perspective, but if you find yourself chiming more than usual with its quixotic quandaries, who’s to say whether that’s because Dupieux has mellowed, or because the past couple of years have driven us all so nuts that now we’re meeting him halfway. |
| ColliderMarco Vito OddoAll in all, Incredible but True remains an unmissable movie for Dupieux fans. And for those worried about getting lost in the filmmaker’s passion for nonsense, the movie might be his most accessible work yet. |
| Screen DailyLee MarshallA minor but still fun-in-parts addition to his wacky oeuvre. |
| Movie NationRoger MooreIt only manages a couple of big laughs, but its droll, judgy tone and some fun performances put it over. |
| Slant MagazineMark HansonQuentin Dupieux’s latest endlessly draws out every stilted interaction for maximum deadpan effect. |
