Perhaps the intellectual side of the film arrives a little too late after so much action and does not withstand analysis, but it is enough to elevate a genre film born from an enormous What If... [Full review in Spanish]

| Original Score: 6/10 | May 9, 2023

It's basically a fantasy wrapped in the guise of science and used as an excuse for an action thriller, but what a thriller. This is a kinetic explosion at its best with Johansson striding through it with a sense of drive and assuredness...

Lucy‘s two strands co-exist, intercut but separate; the pleasure is in ricocheting between two incompatible elements for an entire movie, making those blunt opening juxtapositions surprisingly indicative of what’s to come.

Besson packs a lot of ideas into the brief 89-minute runtime, but he should've spent another 20 minutes on character development.

| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Aug 5, 2022

Scarlett Johansson rides a kinetic rush of evolutionary sci-fi and brutal action...

| Original Score: 3.5/5 | May 26, 2021

That's right, this is an action film with a higher purpose. It even comes with its own Terrence-Malick-by-way-of-Stanley-Kubrick tribute.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Feb 1, 2021

Delves so far into scientific theories and philosophies that it rapidly becomes incomprehensible and downright existentially nonsensical.

| Original Score: 3/10 | Dec 4, 2020

The biggest down side for this movie was the huge absence of action sequences.

| Original Score: 5/10 | Nov 20, 2020

An immensely entertaining and satisfying film that thrives on the strength of Besson's visual style and Johansson's intelligent and emotionally honest performance.

| Original Score: 3.5/4.0 | Sep 15, 2020

While Besson has made a film that looks good and does provide some amount of entertainment, he populated it with a character that sorely lacks a pulse.

| Original Score: C+ | Jul 20, 2020

There will be those who laud this as the most fun movie of the summer, while others will condemn it as complete and utter nonsense, and somehow they'll both be right.

| Original Score: B | Jul 7, 2020

It's silly, it's fun.

| May 26, 2020

It's like it's the prequel to "Her."

| Original Score: 5.5/10 | Mar 26, 2020

A fast and loose action movie hellbent on getting in your face and staying on your mind by any means necessary.

| Original Score: 3.5/5 | Feb 28, 2020

The whole endeavor feels like a half-baked idea carelessly patched together.

| Original Score: 1.5/5 | Aug 30, 2019

It is confidently dumb, defiantly moronic and a fine way to spend 90 minutes of time before doing something of value.

| Original Score: C+ | Jul 30, 2019

I know what you're thinking, but this is no Limitless (Bradley Cooper). As the cells multiply and Lucy taps into more and more of her brain, it's new thrills-new skills with each passing hour.

| Original Score: 8/10 | Apr 17, 2019

This undeniably silly, but raucously entertaining, off-the-wall transhumanist actioner is an absolute riot.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Apr 3, 2019

Lucy is not a game-changing science fiction movie. Still, it represents the return of Luc Besson to his baroque and risky approach to genre filmmaking. [Full review in Spanish]

| Original Score: 7/10 | Mar 26, 2019

Besson may please some with Lucy's visual fireworks and veneer of profundity, but it'll leave most feeling empty inside, hungry for an action flick with real bite.

| Original Score: 8/10 | Mar 22, 2019
