A group of young Londoners struggle to find meaning in their lives while masking their discontent with sex, drugs, and rock 'n roll.
Leave your thoughts about Lotus Eaters.
| Slant MagazineDiego CostaThe free spirit-ness of its characters is certainly mirrored in the film's aesthetic playfulness, but the initial glimmer of Fassbinder-esque expression quickly veers toward Xavier Dolan-grade affectation. |
| The Hollywood ReporterJordan MintzerLess a succinct narrative than a meandering portrait of several ultra-rich, ultra-empty thirtysomethings who waste away their days with sex, drugs and ennui, the film offers a few decent performances captured with New Wave-style visuals, but is not quite the social exposé or melancholic drama it aims to be. |
| Los Angeles TimesSheri LindenMcGuinness has a commendable grasp of visual textures and rhythms. It will be interesting to see what she does with a stronger story to tell. Here, reaching for dramatic effect, she comes up empty. |
| The New York TimesAndy WebsterWhat Lotus Eaters can take pride in are Gareth Munden’s stunning black-and-white cinematography and Ms. Campbell-Hughes, a riveting visual subject suggesting miles of internal depth. She makes this wallow in callow company watchable. |
| Village VoiceChuck WilsonLotus Eaters, which McGuinness co-wrote with Brendan Grant, is maddeningly shallow—maybe that's the point—but McGuinness does have talent. |
| Time OutMarley LynchPerhaps the director is trying to show her socialites’ path to finding themselves, but her point ends up as lost as the film’s aimless hedonists; like its characters, Lotus Eaters is a visual treat—and emotionally vapid. |
| VarietyLeslie FelperinPicture has some redeeming features, like its glossy, fashion-shoot-inspired black-and-white look, and a clutch of respectable performances among some very poor ones from the toothsome young cast, but the script is a mess, the characters barely sympathetic. |
| User ReviewjgrdThis excellently photographed black and white movie introduces us to a glamorous world of young and beautiful jet-setters. The characters especially the sensitive and puzzling Alice, played by Antonia Campbell-Hughes, share with us the difficulty experienced by people in their 20s to find a meaning of their life, to find a way to leave this Lotus Eaters' idleness. The amazing soundtrack led by Johnny Flynn is the cherry on the cake. |
| User ReviewannetAlexandra McGuinness' directorial debut is an enchanting and beautifully shot film set in today's London and Ireland. It follows the lives of a group of 20 something who are still trying to figure out what direction their lives should take. |
| User Reviewdavid2088Beautifully shot by Garret Munden in black and white. Fantastic soundtrack by live bands (Little Death, O Children, Johnny Flynn) is almost a character in the film, along the wonderful Antonia Campbell-Hughes (Bright Star, Albert Nobbs) and Benn Northover (Harry Potter) In her first film, Alexandra McGuinness manages to capture the lives of hedonistic spoiled Londoners, their hopelessness, their confusion, their beauty, and their quest for eternal youth. In a few words, a subtle variation of the quest for identity for people in their 20s, on top of sex, drugs and rock'n roll. |
