everything you have heard about this movie is true.

One of the most extraordinary films you will see this year. Take that as you want.

The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.

It is encouraging that the film ends so strongly.Otherwise, it wouldn't have been a particularly memorable film

Enter the Void is a deadly movie and you clearly need to be in the right frame to even enjoy it- not that there is anything to enjoy in this metaphysical output by Gasper Noe. The cinematography and lighting is stunning and Tokyo looks, well just like Tokyo. It's a bit overlong but quite provocative. I am still undecided as the film left me visibly shaken because of its extreme content. You should see this film and make your own judgement. Visually stunning and effortlessly flowing Enter the Void is more of an experience than just a movie.

So i've never seen a Gasper Noe film, Irreversible turned me off because, surprise!, the 9 minute rape scene. Either way I wanted to check the talked about director out, despite some of the controversy and criticism of his "brutal" work. Well, I probably should have listened to the critics. This movie was striking at first, before wandering into an indulgent, redundant orgy of traumatic childhood memories and... literal orgies. I understand the artistic nature of the film, but I don't think it ever justified a 2 hours and 40 minute run time.

Gaspar Noe seeks to impress - and that he does. A sensory experience, mainly with flashing lights and bright colors - from the city, from the drug trips and from the strip clubs and motels the movie takes us to. It's a relatively simple story, once you remove the flash and ignore most of the resurrection/drug culture going on - which is fairly superficial anyway. The intensity of the emotions and experiences of the orphans is really what makes the movie worth watching for me - you can feel they've had a disturbing life - deep in your guts. Which then becomes sort of OK - as you see them coming to terms with death and what comes next - things happened as pretty much every character in the movie is broken - the trip somehow providing closure to all involved. After going through all of it, you might ask yourself if we really needed more than 2 hours to go through all of this. All part of the experience?

This movie should be watched on hallucinogens in the dark of movie theater. Unfortunately, I had to watch it on my computer while eating chicken wings. In first case I would probably rated it 10, but completely straight I could not avoid being irritated by all its flaws.Idea is great, story well developed, although told in completely twisted way typical for Gaspar Noe. Camera and photography are work of genius, use of colors and strobe, bird's-eye view, unbelievable visual adventure. Though, epileptics and those with hypersensitive eyes should definitely avoid this ride or at least watch it in bright light. You risk headache at your own risk, cause as much as it is beautiful it is also very heavy for eyes.Unfortunately, it seems that Noe got into it too deep and lost control after a while. Movie is unnecessarily too long. Scenes of tripping on hallucinogens last 5 to 10 times longer than it would be humane towards audience. Also, astral flights, between every two scenes Oscar is watching, are too slow and too long. If he cut all of that in half, movie wouldn't lose any of its meaning or visual poetics, but it would be cut down from almost 3 hours to under 2 hours and he would avoid danger of having half of the audience leaving theater before movie ends.This movie definitely isn't for mainstream audience. It is too long, too confusing, very explicit in showing drugs and sex and extremely tiring for eyes. But although I was at the edge of giving up in first half an hour, movie slowly pulled me in its world and then it gave me 2 more hours of hypnotizing ride.It is very hard for me to rate it. When I have to force my self to watch it till the end, I give it 1 or maybe 2, depending on successfulness of that forcing. And when movie gives me such amazing ride like this one did and leaves me under strong impressions, it is usually 9 or 10. But this is the first time I saw a movie that meets both criteria. Still, despite all the flaws, I think this movie is worth more than it seems at first glance.!!! SPOILER ALERT !!!At the very beginning of the film, when they mentioned reincarnation and explained how exactly it works and looks like, I instantly knew how this movie will end. And to be honest, it would be stupid to end it any different. Although, I would make slight change in it. I would reincarnate Oscar into his own incest child. Somehow it seems to me that movie this sick has to end even sicker. :D
