Wild Grass is more than a movie, it's an act of prestigitatation. [Full review in Spanish]

| Aug 10, 2022

Dussollier and Azema are a joy.

| Original Score: 3.5/4.0 | Sep 27, 2020

At the age of 88, former wunderkind Alain Resnais made his friskiest film in years with this astonishing comedy of unconscious desire.

| Jun 26, 2020

A feast for the senses, at once intoxicating and just uncomfortable enough to offer a bracing twist.

| Original Score: 3.5/4 | Aug 5, 2019

With a vibrant colour scheme inspired by graphic novels, a silky jazz score, and a slip-sliding narrative that takes inspired turns, Wild Grass seems both reckless and immaculately controlled.

| Jul 24, 2019

There is plenty of whimsy, but none of it fresh or delightful.

| Aug 9, 2018

It is all so glorious, and all so frustrating... Resnais fully finds here what he has sought since at least Life is a Bed of Roses in 1983: an unbearable lightness of being.

| Jul 30, 2018

A glorious mix of comedy and fantasy, Resnais is improving with age, creating characters that probably are a reflection of his view on the world, with his experience and charm.

| May 19, 2018

Although Wild Grass doesn't reach the heights of Resnais' earliest works, it provides ample evidence that the director can still produce vibrant and thrilling work and hopefully will continue to do so through his 90s as well.

| Original Score: 3.5/5 | Oct 11, 2015

| Original Score: 4.5/5 | Apr 4, 2011

A confounding psychodrama that made me laugh in the scenes that were meant to be serious and remain mute in the scenes that were meant to be amusing.

| Original Score: C | Mar 2, 2011

Resnais is having fun here, possibly at the expense of audiences who demand tradition.

| Original Score: 7/10 | Feb 24, 2011

Full Review | Original Score: 3/4 | Jan 31, 2011

... a delightful reminder of the romantic streak and cinematic whimsy still in this 88-year-old cinema elder.

| Nov 4, 2010

Director Alain Resnais’ roundabout romance about missed connections and misplaced intentions is gorgeous to watch but difficult to track.

Full Review | Original Score: 3/4 | Oct 8, 2010

I recognize the Resnais I love in this movie, poking through here and there, a fumble-fingered god experimenting with his creation: a wobbly, lopsided world warmed by its maker's affection.

| Original Score: 85/100 | Sep 26, 2010

Wild Grass is about the randomness of life, and how the meaning behind arbitrary events is incomprehensible and opaque. This also describes what the experience of watching the film is like.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Sep 22, 2010

Alain Resnais keeps sprouting marvelous artistic herbage at an age when most of his contemporaries are pushing up grass from a different perspective.

| Sep 21, 2010

Resnais' funky, frothy bonbon of a film is nevertheless a breathtaking sight to see.

| Original Score: 2.5/5 | Aug 20, 2010

Wild Grass is nearly the same movie as Amelie, only minus the charm and the appeal.
