Megalopolis's reviews
Media reviews
Indiewire
"A wrenching, brilliant and transcendentally honest manifesto about the role of an artist at the end of an empire. It doesn't just speak to Coppola's philosophy, it embodies it to the core".
ABC
"A work that moves from vulgarity to excellence (...) it is an excessive, pretentious film, the work of a mad artist who has flashes of genius (...) Folly and marvel".
Variety
"It's positively breathtaking at some points and an absolute monstrosity at others, until you look at it in perspective and try to take it all in".
The Hollywood Reporter
"It is convoluted and overwrought, at times bewildering and too chatty. But it is also funny, playful, visually dazzling and illuminated by a poignant hope for humanity".
El Mundo
"Coppola crashes against the sky in his farewell to cinema. The most ambitious and long-awaited project of the director's career ends up with an unclassifiable work that is as pompous, tiresome and self-indulgent as it is exceptionally unique".
The Guardian
"Coppola's personal project is mega-bloated and mega-boring".
El País
"The fall of the Coppola empire. The project that has obsessed the filmmaker for the last 40 years turns out to be colossal nonsense. (...) it suffers from the same excesses that the film itself denounces".
La Razón
"It aims at satire, although each of its characters pretends to be living in a different film (...) From the grotesque and granguinolesque to the severe and pompous, it navigates in a magma of ill-finished ideas and hyperbolic tones".
