Plays like a passionate, harrowing confession.

fresh:
It works on several levels of meaning and panache, yet it undoubtedly will leave behind those unable to go along with its unabashed headiness.

Carax, with Pola X, has become a parody of himself with a self-indulgent, overreaching style that many viewers will find a struggle to watch -- provided they can contain their contempt for pretentiousness.

For all its mess and romantic excess, Pola X has enough fireworks to keep you in your seat. When it's over, you'll know you've had an experience.
– Stephen Holden,
