Critics Consensus

Annette's experimental approach to its emotional extremes marks an ambitious, if not peculiar, return for director Leos Carax.

5/5
At its core, this is a fraught love story of both romantic and paternal brokenness. Go to Full Review Anupama Chopra Film Companion 11/24/2021
Annette is beautiful, bonkers and genuinely moving. Go to Full Review Esther Zuckerman Thrillist 11/23/2021
Perhaps the puppet Annette should be your bellwether: Either she remains as creepy as she sounds or she blinks her way into your heart. If it's the latter, you might be under Annette's spell. Go to Full Review Ryan Swen Taipei Mansions Sep 5
Despite its often extravagant scale, what with its globe-hopping scale, constant media intrusion, and apparently years-spanning timeline, Annette is ultimately a small, intimate film. Go to Full Review Michael Cook Geek Vibes Nation Jul 17
3.5/5
It’s as entertaining as it is baffling, and it’s an undeniably well-made movie. It’s one of those movies you can’t stop thinking about. Go to Full Review Julian Singleton Cinapse Jul 12
[Annette] urges its viewers to recognize the storytelling strings that pull them–and to follow their motions to unpredictably new and dreamlike destinations. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

irene 09/03/2021 weird movie, GREAT SOUNDTRACK, GREAT CINEMATOGRAPHY! See more Norma Jean 08/20/2021 Weird. Amazing storytelling. Great acting.. PHENOMENAL. See more Thomas N 08/19/2021 What I liked? The music was phenomenal !.... Amazing sets and costumes. It is an American Art Film. Not sure I understood the metaphor. It starts out very fun but, gets complicated. See more thomas O 08/15/2021 Imagine a musical movie written by one of your favorite bands since the late 70s with a great French Director amazing actors .. unbelievable cinematography.. and a robot baby! you are sitting in a beautiful theater in a recliner chair and the sound is amazing. I would have thought I was in a Fredrick Fellini film except the writers Ron and Russell Mael kept showing up in the movie!! I’m so lucky to be a Sparks fan so I found this Gem.. if you are a film student or love foreign films without sub titles this is a must see.. if you love a good movie that the masses won’t see .. this is a must see. If you have ever been to Niagara Falls at 3 am in January you know what I mean! See more Lili 08/15/2021 It was extraordinarily weird. See more Charles S 08/15/2021 While I love the actors (and often their specific scenes)....however, the overall movie is one of the very worst movies I have ever watched. I left about 4/5 into the film (as the ship scene began). It is like a cross between "La La Land" and "Lenny" (Bruce)....The film takes pride in its darkness and its moments of profane plot.
