Hyper capitalism vs. Spirituality.

| Jan 22, 2025

When the film thinks it gets tense and mysterious, it actually gets silly, and when it thinks it gets scary, it just gets more ridiculous.

| Original Score: 2.5/5 | Aug 9, 2024

Assayas has crafted a film that almost defies genre, but is grounded by an understated, poignant performance from Kristen Stewart.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Mar 11, 2024

An gorgeous portrait of a grieving young woman searching for connection with her dead brother. The texting scenes are alternatively discomforting and terrifying. A great, understated showcase for Stewart

| Original Score: 4.5/5 | Mar 7, 2024

Olivier Assayas plunges viewers right into his protagonist's bereaved headspace. In a revelatory performance, Kristen Stewart plays Maureen, a personal shopper who moonlights as a clairvoyant.

Assayas’s approach to this dilemma places him in a long lineage of French filmmaking, aligning himself once again closer to Truffaut; Personal Shopper is a manifestation of the strains and resulting pleasures of navigating these questions.

With an elusive spiritualism that reflects the nature of the drama, Personal Shopper will not offer definite answers, although its clues remain fulfilling enough for audiences that need not be catered to.

| Original Score: 4/4 | Apr 4, 2022

Stewart's subdued turn nicely dovetails with the story's ethereal elements, but the inclusion of an obvious murder-mystery works against the film's eerie appeal.

| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Sep 19, 2021

Any Kristen Stewart doubters need to give this one a try.

| Sep 3, 2021

A hypnotic, haunting and thoroughly modern portrait of grief and alienation.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Aug 12, 2021

Slick, informed millennial take on the demon within, and ghosts, in general.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Jul 29, 2021

An unbelievably unsettling and enjoyable piece of work.

| Original Score: 4/5 | May 24, 2021

This is a really good, raw, ghost story that's told kind of differently and then totally got spun out of the water when like six different storylines but it was definitely interesting.

| Original Score: 6/10 | Apr 28, 2021

This is a film that deeply hides its secrets, even when you think it's giving you everything. When it reveals itself, it is a stunner.

Personal Shopper may chill you down at first, but by the end, its message about loss should get you home just fine.

| Nov 10, 2020

There just isn't another film quite like Personal Shopper, a bizarre mixture of horror and coming-of-age that feels effortlessly natural in its execution.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Sep 24, 2020

Stewart shines in Assayas' ghost story, a slim narrative threaded into considerable subtexts on loss, correspondence, and emotional transactions.

| Original Score: 3.5/5 | Aug 31, 2020

The lingering strangeness, emotional ambiguity, and indefinite conclusion defies easy answers and definitions, but the result is a compelling if esoteric film.

| Original Score: B+ | Jul 2, 2020

Though a number of ... scenes achieve greatness, and using a series of missed texts received all at once to build tension is .. ingenious, the film as a whole misses its mark.

| Jul 1, 2020

Personal Shopper finds a weird wavelength pretty early on, and if you can cling to it through a few purposefully difficult tonal shifts, you will be rewarded immensely.
