Jupiter's Moon Reviews
Astounding.
| Apr 17, 2020
'Jupiter's Moon' ends up in a limbo that will prevent it from being remembered either as a social drama or as an anomaly in the contemporary fantasy cinema. [Full Review in Spanish]

It's good that this subject has been done at all but ultimately strangely disappointing.
| Original Score: 3/5 | Aug 27, 2018
While certainly not for all tastes, Mundruczó's provocative and hugely ambitious head-trip proves both ravishing and rewarding to those who yield to its powers.
| Original Score: 4/5 | Jun 10, 2018
Its imagery is exhilarating, and the plot surges forward with a loopy energy, challenging us to hang on for the ride.
| Original Score: 3.5/5 | May 7, 2018
It'll be remembered not for its rather woolly handling of serious subject matter, but for a couple of excellent performances, and the stunning images and sequences conjured by Mundruczó and Rév. You should probably see it but don't expect to love it.

Jupiter's Moon is an insubstantial and incomplete sci-fi yarn that strives for the dystopian heat of, say, Children Of Men -- but is too caught up in effects and a litany of inescapably mannered long takes that contribute nothing.
| Original Score: 2/5 | Jan 14, 2018
Although Jupiter's Moon may not be deep enough for the Cannes' audience, genre hounds who do not mind subtitles will get a kick out of it.
| Jan 8, 2018
Given wide latitude by the hero's gift, the story floats waywardly all over the place and, though the fancy camera moves are impressive, the journey is unsatisfying.
| Original Score: 2/5 | Jan 8, 2018
Mundcuczo's implicit criticisms of Europe's attitude to migrants are undone somewhat by his film's messianic undercurrents, but for all that it's endlessly inventive, and ends in memorable and unexpected fashion.
| Original Score: 3/5 | Jan 8, 2018
[An] ambitious, enjoyable sci-fi experiment ...
| Original Score: 3/5 | Jan 7, 2018
It's more of a case of the same few visual cues repeated ad nauseam, and ultimately little in the way of a message at all when it comes to its political bent.
| Original Score: 2/5 | Jan 5, 2018
Jupiter's Moon may be a bit of a muddle but it is never dull.
| Original Score: 3/5 | Jan 5, 2018
Some virtuoso visual imagery and poignant contemporary themes go searching for a plot and proper characters in this hit-and-miss Hungarian drama.
| Original Score: 3/5 | Jan 5, 2018
Reconcile yourself to the fact that the thematic loose ends are never going to be sensibly tied up ... and it's possible to coast through the entire film on its unflagging visual bravado alone.
| Original Score: 3/5 | Jan 5, 2018
The brilliant Hungarian director Kornel Mundruczo's latest feature sits uncomfortably between political allegory and thriller.
| Original Score: 3/5 | Jan 4, 2018
There will undoubtedly be many films in the coming years that attempt to tackle Europe's refugee crisis, but will any of them be dumber than Jupiter's Moon?
| Original Score: 1/5 | Jan 3, 2018
Is it a superhero riff, a religious allegory, a political parable?
| Original Score: 3/5 | Jan 2, 2018
Some powerful images. [Full Review in Spanish]
| Original Score: 3/5 | Nov 21, 2017
A fantastic superhero movie. [Full Review in Spanish]
| Original Score: 3/5 | Nov 6, 2017
