Incredible But True Reviews
What could've been simply a conventional romantic comedy turns into something more complex when a fantastical element is introduced... [Full review in Spanish]
| Original Score: 8/10 | May 17, 2024
It is a sensorial experience, absurd and delirious, but capable of nourishing itself with the inexplicable to embody a world that has long questioned all logic. [Full review in Spanish]
| Original Score: 4/5 | May 16, 2024
While nice and at certain moments fascinating, this fable about the obsession with male sexual potency and eternal female youth is a bit clumsy, redundant and half-baked. [Full review in Spanish]
| Original Score: 3/5 | Mar 18, 2024
[A] snappy little entertainment.

Incredible But True is a masterpiece of tragicomic invention, and itself a genuine Impossible Object.
| Original Score: 5/5 | Aug 17, 2023
Dupieux is original and funny, but he can't stop elbowing you so that you notice. [Full review in Spanish]
| Original Score: 2/5 | May 25, 2023
Scintillatingly weird and at times infuriatingly slow, Incredible but True has its climax in an anticlimax... [Full review in Spanish]

Dupieux reaffirms himself as a master of scathing humor. [Full review in Spanish]
| Original Score: 4/5 | May 18, 2023
Dupieux's jokes have become like bitter pop rocks, taciturn nonsense about ambition and conformism, maturity and youth, and of course, the pathos of the sexes. [Full review in Spanish]
| Original Score: 3/5 | Jan 20, 2023
Always light and wacky and funny and entirely original - there's no one else telling these stories in this way with this kind of quirky humor. Even if he's not making the most brilliant films, they're still entertaining and riotous.
| Original Score: 8/10 | Dec 30, 2022
‘Incredible But True’ has a lot to say about people’s obsession with keeping up appearances as well as clinging onto the past no matter what. However, its tediously slow pacing and frustrating dialogue made it a challenging watch unfortunately.

While the premise is blatantly silly, with several riotously funny scenes along the way, the film has a warm heart that brings its characters to life. So while the central point feels somewhat simplistic, it's an engaging little romp.
| Original Score: 3.5/5 | Nov 15, 2022
“Incredible But True” runs only 74 minutes, and feels like a breezy, elliptical short story, with the characters treating the most peculiar of circumstances with deadpan seriousness.
| Original Score: 3/4 | Sep 29, 2022
A quirky and exciting analysis of the ageing process told in an innovative way, Incredible But True is a highly original and thoroughly entertaining piece of art.
| Original Score: 4/5 | Aug 30, 2022
Dupieux’s continues his streak of bizarre movies with this light-hearted but poignant tale that has a Charlie Kaufman quality.
| Original Score: 4/5 | Aug 29, 2022
Incredible but True is hardly among Dupieux's very finest work, but nevertheless sees him again using his trademark absurdism to poignantly explore the depths of the human soul.
| Original Score: 3.5/5 | Aug 28, 2022
Midlife crisis has never been so odd as in Incredible But True. I mean, what can you say about a film with an exploding penis and a time-travel tunnel?
| Original Score: 3/5 | Aug 10, 2022
Dupieux again offers no real answers, just humor and thoughtful provocation.
| Original Score: 4/5 | Aug 7, 2022
What makes all this work is the very straightforward and matter-of-fact way in which Dupieux approaches the story.
| Original Score: 3.5/5 | Aug 5, 2022
This is a strong entry in the Dupieux cinematic universe and should be seen as soon as possible.
| Original Score: 4.5/5 | Aug 5, 2022
