Atom User Reviews for Titane
I saw the trailer for this and didn’t know anything about the film so I went in blind. I just left the theater and I still don’t know what it’s about LOL
I get. I really get it, but I couldn't stand any of the characters. I can deal with pretentious art house film, but I can't handle unlikeable characters and unsettling moments that fail to drive the story. Thanks for making me cringe without a pay off. Next time, I'll just scratch a chalk board at home for free.
'Titane' is an unconventional rollercoaster that comes to an almost sudden climax. It's fairly original, oftentimes disturbing, and an ambitious vehicle for everyone involved. It's not a film I'd recommend, but I enjoyed it. If you don't like the brand of unconventional filmmaking such as 'Neon Demon', 'Holy Motors', or 'RAW', definitely skip this feature. If you do, however, definitely give it a shot, and go in with an open mind. Either way, you're in for an experience.
Metacritic
Among all the violence, body horror and Giger-esque sexuality, Titane’s most surprising quality is its tenderness.
Titane, this year's Palme d'Or winner at the Cannes Film Festival, is an extreme movie, violent and pitiless and funny, but the space it provides for not just tenderness but contemplation makes it an extremely thought-provoking film as well.
In an era when nearly everything that can be done on film already has been, Titane forges something sensational from nerve and pure metal, and makes it new.
