BigBug Reviews
Wacky! What is what it is.
| Feb 24, 2022
Occasionally, the director registers a dry aside about the cost of living with tech, only to be drowned out by his own racket.
| Original Score: 2/5 | Feb 17, 2022
More exhausting than inventive, dishing out a few good ideas about domestic life in the not-too-distant future amid jokes that tend to play like relics of the past...

Big fun.
| Original Score: 3.5/4 | Feb 11, 2022
Here, in a vision of the future so broad and cartoonish that it makes The Fifth Element seem like Solaris by comparison, Jeunet’s tin-eared comic instincts are front and center for almost two full hours of singularity-driven schtick.
| Original Score: D | Feb 11, 2022
A tougher, smarter film than American sci-fi cinema buffs are used to seeing.
| Original Score: 3.5/4 | Feb 11, 2022
Subtlety has never been one of Jeunet’s tools, and the comedy in Bigbug is enjoyably over-the-top, occasionally a bit too mannered, and often laugh-out-loud funny.
| Original Score: B | Feb 11, 2022
Despite some snappy ideas (an aggressive advertising drone pushing products as answers to the family’s every problem), “Bigbug” is overdressed, overlong and diminishingly amusing.

Jeunet can’t avoid the impending digitization of cinema, nor life. Still, he’s not going down without landing a few good fingers to the ribs first.
| Original Score: 3/5 | Feb 11, 2022
“Bigbug” could be a career killer... After this, who will want to make a movie with the director of such an unwieldy eyesore?

A hugely clever and engaging film that defies expectations with a sly warmth that sneaks up on you; it's smart enough to temper its satirical sensibility with a fundamental belief in humanity, whether said humanity happens to reside in flesh or metal.
