Leave your thoughts about The Congress.
| Film ThrillsDeirdre CrimminsThe film then becomes philosophical posturing with dialogue that is so abstruse it is impossible to tell if they are even trying to cobble together a story. |
| Movie MezzanineSean BurnsThe sensory overload and thematic bludgeoning reach a point of deadening, diminishing returns. |
| Thompson on HollywoodRyan Lattanzio'The Congress' widens the possibilities of filmmaking -- and in doing so, is as pro-cinema as it is anti-Hollywood. |
| AwardsCircuit.comClayton DavisIt's hard to believe that I even understood all its themes, because there were many, and this likely exists as an endeavor that needs to be watched on multiple viewings to gauge and comprehend all its profound messages. I'm okay with that. |
| RogerEbert.comScout TafoyaThe Congress, playing fast and loose with a source novel by Stanislaw Lem, splits from its version of reality at the 45-minute mark, and at that point becomes a decadent post-modern classic. |
| AV ClubMike D'AngeloIt’s a folly of the first order, but one that many people will nonetheless want to see, if only because it’s so out there. |
| L.A. WeeklyAmy NicholsonLike its actress, it's an ambitious knockout that doesn't quite live up to its potential. But its argument is worth hearing: Instead of crying for the collapse of one actress, Folman is crying for the collapse of civilization, the triumph of the synthetic over the real. |
| Movie MezzanineChristopher RunyonA startling, beguiling rumination on the slipperiness of mortality and the methods we create to escape the inescapable. |
| Film.comJordan HoffmanThe first half of “The Congress,” while still fascinating, does suffer a bit from keeping its focus on the gripes and accusations between Hollywood actors and producers...Once the Philip K. Dick-meets-”Inception” second half kicks in, the implications grow more universal. |
| MSN MoviesWilliam Goss...commits to Big Ideas of identity and integrity with Robin Wright remarkably anchoring it all as, well, herself. (Sort of.) |
