Ema - Anmeldelser

Larraín har bedrevet en æstetiserende udforskning af seksualitet, identitet, eksistensberettigelse...

Pablo Larraín’s scorching survey of love and family in modern-day Chile.

At its best, Larraín’s film captures the expressiveness of Ema's dancing in its narrative, presenting us with a fascinating character study.

...there’s something thrillingly primal about Ema’s scorched-earth approach to tearing down her marriage and rebuilding her life however she damn well pleases.

The dance is pulsating and fun, well-staged and beautifully shot.

Every shot, every scene, has something very good in it; Larraín’s control is a marvel, and Di Girolamo’s dancing is incidentally brilliant.

...unravels with serious intensity, with gripping performances and a labyrinthian story that just keeps unfolding.

Pablo Larrain is the great discombobulator of modern cinema, a master of black jokes, a spinner of transgressive tales.

Ett suggestivt drama, stilfullt och egenartat berättat...

...pulserer af improviserende frihed, og man lokkes ind i Emas egensindige kraft, billedernes kulørte kraft og den insisterende, latinamerikanske reggaeton, der pumper løs i baggrunden.

Raw, beautiful and terrifying.

...a decadent drama of sex, fire, and dance...

Larraín’s mesmerizing use of dance is explosive and alive, the driving force of his film that breathes it life.

...filmens centrala känsla är en sorg som svämmar över alla bräddar.

En unik filmupplevelse...
