Like most of Noe's work, it's interesting to look at, but you cannot escape the unlikable mumbling lead, which completely kills any messages that may be gained. The acting from everyone is pretty shoddy in fact, so if you want to see some high quality jizz shots, say yes. Otherwise just say Noe.

Other than the uniquely intruiging aspect of watching this film, namely trying to grasp what part of his life djross sees reflected in a plot rife with harddrugs, threesomes, and everything in between (I'm geussing it's his love for academic philosophy and the grave dangers inherent to it), there's not much to like. Expressionism? Sure, but its disjointedness and superficiality, insofar intended - it often isn't - feeds convolution, lowers patience and, in turn, at times, is gratingly annoying.

Love (2015) is like a Fifty Shades of Grey (2015) for men. Got the same banal dialogue filled with the most basic neanderthal reactions, loaded with the standard male fantasies crapped on by the shortsighted hypocrisy of jealousy. Yet it delivers a nearly poetic and compelling drama about love, lust and passion. The graphic hardcore element feels right at home with the sensuality and frustrations of the story for anyone raised in the internet porn era. Love (2015) is sex in wonderful style!

Substitutes the violence for sex, but otherwise typical Noé. It's very stylish, visually pleasing and unflinching with its hardcore pornography between young beautiful people. The narrative and dialogue are bland, but not unlike Von Trier, Noé is now mainly concerned with testing the limits of how much he can cum on his film and still be considered a high artist. I found nothing to hate about this, but could have gotten more from viewing a better piece of porn and a better art film separately.

Noé's latest shocker runs deeper than what the litany of daringly intimate love scenes might suggest, effectively conveying how loss and grief often become intrinsically intertwined, at a time when everything you love and knew begins to slip away, receding into the past like a fading memory. Granted, some of the dialogue borders on the inane and the acting is hit-or-miss at best, yet, all things considered, Love ultimately emerges as a unique vision from a bold and exciting filmmaker.

Like the entirely of Noé's oeuvre, it's visually striking in a way that few films are. His movies have way of permanently stamping themselves into my psyche, and Love is no exception. But unlike the rest of Noé's work, this one didn't strike me on an emotional level. I didn't care about what the main character felt or said. All I saw was a selfish, lustful, simple-minded dolt who built a terrible situation for himself and then cried about it. The sub-par dialogue didn't help matters.

Imperfect, but excellent in spite of any faults. The use of 3D is brilliant - the texture and life of sex comes through in a manner that I've never seen another film capture. Sometimes erotic, sometimes repulsive, a sharp look at fragile male ego and ingrained chauvinism that leads to pathetic destruction.

None of the technical skill in Noe's other films is present, the acting is terrible, and the script is toe-curlingly cringeworthy. This score is for all intents and purposes rating a CGI enhanced load of sperm aimed at the screen, complete with plopping sound effects.

Such a disappointment after a unique experience which was Enter the Void. While the narrative was somewhat lacking (just a bit), I think the biggest let-down was the acting performance outside the bedroom, which was of porn-caliber, at best. Ironic, right. If I viewed it as a generic festival flick, I could easily recommend it, however it's Gaspar, and I want more, much much more.

Usually I'm that guy who embraces challenging films because we should praise really creative people that show no fear. Noe is likethat, but Love is a slog. Terrible acting most of the time with a few moments of redemption, and bad writing. I think Murphy reminds me a lot of Edward Cullen. Sex bored me. It was too much and there was nothing really behind it because the characters weren't interesting. Also, a couple good musical choices but also strange a lot of the time.

"Le temps détruit tout" becomes Murphy's law. LOVE is a movie about sex as the pursuit of passion and where that can lead, and it seemed to relate to aspects of my life in a way that I think perhaps I have never seen represented cinematically ever before. But unfortunately I can't tell you about that here. Some scenes produced a beautiful and complex feeling. Walked out of a 3D screening due to terrible lighting and poor sound, and very glad I ended up watching it in 2D.

Despite being a huge Noe fanboy, I wasn't looking forward to this and I was still sorely disappointed. There's so much to hate about this film: the laughably atrocious dialogue, the horrendous acting, the lazy directing (master shots everywhere), Noe's own projection on one of the most hateable, irresponsible, awfully selfish main characters any film has ever seen, and the sex scenes that were literally toe-curlingly embarrassing. I wished everyone in this shit-fuck of a film died of AIDS.

Indeed, with luck they will be united afterwards. They will have their own child. They will enjoy a long, happy life together. They will love music, alongside cinema and painting. Satie will be coupled with Schubert. At the end, the girl will have a stroke. The girl will suffer from unbearable pain, chained to bed. Sperms will be replaced with tears. She will not even be capable of suicide. The boy, her true lover, will put an end to her pain himself. Then one day it will all be over.

The idea of combining sex and love is spectacular. The color scheme is diverse and mesmerizing like most of Noe's films. The non-liniar plot is a good touch. In general, this is a film I could not stop watching and had to revisit several scenes.

How many times is Gaspar Noe going to mention his own name in the film? With such selfish, egotistical and broken characters who are on a downward spiral by their own choices and lack of emotional intelligence, it is very difficult to feel anything about them in the film. One good sequence with Pink Floyd. One good sex scene. That's about it - bland and emotionless. And the ending goes on forever. No thanks.

I was mind-blown by this film. The explicitness with which the sexual act is depicted is unbealievable. The 3D is not necessary for most of the film, but it gives you the fealling you are actually in there, in the room with the main heroes. For many, this will be simply a porn. There is explicit sexual act with sperm ejacualtion. But in a certain way, it is very different to porn, and for me, it was about the physical part of love, the part not shown in any other film I have seen.

Pretty fucking bad. Or pretty bad fucking. Either way this was a chore to sit through. Noe seems to think he's 'pushing the envelope' with this film, which couldn't be farther from the truth. The sex is mundane, the acting is bad (not wholly surprising as the script is awful) and it's mired in cliche. After the firecrackers that were his first 3 films this is a hugely disappointing limp wrist of a movie.

A guy mumbles his thoughts as he remembers all the sex he used to have. Okay? All the emotions fall flat, partly because of poor acting, partly because there's no coherent push by the film to do anything with all this angst on display. Noe's not the deepest of directors, but his previous films had both focus and amazing visual gimmicks, and this suffers without either of those. Or maybe he just wanted to make sex as boring as possible, in which case this is a resounding success.

Excruciating. Have the nay-sayers been right all along? Doubtful. imo, Noé has managed three bold & extraordinary movies in spite of himself: I've always been surprised at how, frankly, dim he seems in interviews, but his art takes on its own life. So, perhaps he was more than due for an utter flop [dick joke], and "Love"-- squandering of Benoît Debie's talents, excessively self-referential; risible ['nother], Wiseau-esque dialogue; and, -very- tellingly, gross, pornified "sex"-- is just that.

Visually fantastic, but everything else is a complete mess at best and probably just garbage. I've seen more believable dialog in actual porn. I'm not even sure comparing this script to Fifty Shades of Grey is fair - to Fifty Shades. The lighting and composition is outstanding and there are some great moments, but my god should they have cut almost everything right out of this. Has possibly the worst case(s) of self-insertion ever put on film, or for that matter in any manuscript.

A far cry from the frenetic chaos of 'I Stand Alone' and 'Irreversible,' and the consciousness-altering psychedelia of 'Enter the Void,' Noé's latest effort channels the grounded melancholy of Haneke in his most mature yet uninspired outing yet. Noé's treatment of the body mostly avoids sensationalism, while Debie's impressionistic imagery and an ambient, eclectic soundtrack overcome stiff (sorry) acting, poor dialogue, and Noé's own egocentricity. Interestingly, the violence is all emotional

Pointless movie really, with way too many boring sex scenes that doesn't add much to the already bland story. Starts off with literally a dick in your face, which makes you uncomfortable right from the start. The acting is very mediocre too which made watching this even worse. Even watching this on a faster speed and fast forwarding through the sex scenes was still a very tedious and unsatisfying experience.

Noe's main character- murphy is an all-around knuckle-dragging idiot,flat, annoying, resentful, jealous. While stuck in a rut, murphy remembers all the sex that he has had in a past relationship. The movie falls flat in the emotions department. All main characters are jealous idiots and the sex scenes look like a rotating butchershop window. If Noe's intention was to make sex seem uninteresting, the film is a success. Benoit Debie's cinematography is great as always, Noe's self-indungence sucks.

Cool poster. An interesting idea. Some great stuff here and there. But most of the time the often atrocious acting or Noé's pretensions (or both) kill the sexy mood. I find it baffling how a director brilliant enough to turn out a fully-fledged masterpiece ('Irréversible') is subsequently also capable of gargantuan ineptitude. But I still respect the guy. He aims for the stars (and, in one scene, the screen!), and the final product, though flawed, is IMO decidedly better than 'Nymphomaniac'.

In 2016, I interpreted the film as insincere. But now I realize that I dont't understand anything about Noe's mind. he turns the Love into a manifesto, but he is cowardly to be ashamed of his own manifesto. If the goal is to make a bold movie, watch In the Realm of the Senses (1976). After that, I found Love completely pointless and cowardly.

Some sex scenes are stunning and so are the people in those scenes. But, given the substance and the depth of the dialogues (or lack thereof), I think this is what happens when you don't polish or let go of that "film idea" you had as a high schooler. I wish the superficiality and the dreadful acting here were intentional, but it doesn't seem so. Takes you about halfway into the movie to realize that it wasn't vigorously aiming for mediocrity.

Exactly the sort of clumsy, self-indulgent train wreck that forces me to retroactively question any enthusiasm i previously had for Gaspar Noe (i was already beginning to have my doubts, and this does nothing but confirm my worst suspicions). I gave Enter the Void a pass despite it's kitschiness due to Noe's sincerity and obvious cinematic ambition, and there's a lot less aesthetically going on here than before to keep his other tendencies in check. By turns prurient and mawkishly sentimental.

noé's goal is to create a cinema that inhabits the kind of addictive, pure, ego-free experience adults usually only attain through love or drugs (he equates the two). that horror & ecstasy which arises from all-consuming desire/dependence--a close proximity to death/childhood. noé seems vapid & infantile himself and his texts increasingly reflect this, but that suits the tone he's going for IMO, and i remain mesmerised by these hallucinatory audiovisuals & the accompanying big dumb emotions.

Somewhat disappointing. I liked the general structure, at least at the beginning, and Noé's deliberate direction and composition were great. In terms of what the film was about, sometimes I thought it was a deeply personal film, and at other times I thought it was just self-indulgent, and at others, a brilliant piece on male psychology towards sex and love. In any case, it doesn't all quite come together and is a good 30 minutes too long.

I am always a huge fan of Noe's formalism and hypnotic imagery but this time he seems to be the victim of popular trend of making "beautiful" movies with the help of digital aesthetics and passing over the content and force of the movie which were present somehow in all his previous movies. The question of love btw soul and body is a worthy one but the characters and dialogues are so shallow that at the end its just another vivid and shiny flaunting of images.

The most provocative, bravest and attractive form of love. Sometimes it's annoying, sometimes it's disturbing, and sometimes it's too sweet. A love story where regrets, resentments and shames combine with passion and obsession. Gaspar Noé achieves a great integrity and originality with Love, with the color harmony, shooting techniques and storytelling style.

I'm not sure what Noé was trying to achieve with Love, besides indulging in unsimulated sex scenes. Newcomers Kristin and Muyock were tolerable, unlike Glusman's Murphy. Throughout the film he remains an indulged, hot-headed, hypocritical moron with serious jealousy and anger-management issues. The plot itself is unimpressive, as the film plays through moments of obsession, profession and sex that quickly becomes banal, with more cuts than a Bourne action scene. The soundtrack is great though.
