Jupiter's Moon Reviews
Astounding.
| Apr 17, 2020
[An] ambitious, enjoyable sci-fi experiment ...
| Original Score: 3/5 | Jan 7, 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
Take away all the camera-swirling and giddiness and you're left with an empty sci-fi shell.
| Original Score: 2/5 | May 26, 2017
Unfortunately, Jupiter's Moon loses altitude once Mundruczó and screenwriter Kata Wéber start portentously laying out their themes.
| May 23, 2017
Jupiter's Moon juggles so many ideas in the air, yet none of them ever land.
| May 23, 2017
Staggeringly well-shot but painfully strained.
| Original Score: C+ | May 23, 2017
There's undeniable potential here - but Jupiter's Moon shows its hand rather too eagerly, and Mundruczó and Webér have little else to add to the form.
| May 22, 2017
Unfortunately, the movie's often-astonishing imagery ... has been applied to a mainstream thriller that might charitably be called goofy and more accurately described as powerfully stupid.
| Original Score: C+ | May 19, 2017
This serious-minded, ambitious oddity shoots for the moon of a far-off planet, but it really only finds the grace it's looking for in its magnificent supple camerawork.
| May 19, 2017
Jupiter's Moon isn't a total success - but it's aiming at the stars.
| Original Score: 3/5 | May 19, 2017
