An acquired taste, this dense Jabberwocky-ish word salad is a political allegory about a populace that's been pharmaceutically duped into believing its wretched world is wonderful.
Manohla Dargis, New York Times
Fresh
A half-live-action, half-animated headtrip that throws Robin Wright into a dizzying showbiz paradigm shift.
Tom Russo, Boston Globe
Fresh
A dystopian blend of live-action and animation that acidly comments on some of Hollywood's touchiest issues before drifting off into an existential fog.
Lou Lumenick, New York Post
Rotten
It's almost painful to watch the immense promise of "The Congress," Ari Folman's spectacularly ambitious experiment, dissipate into nothing.
