Alpha Reviews
RogerEbert.com
Katie Rife
At times, 'Alpha' plays like a Cronenbergian after-school special, in which the visual metaphors are overplayed, and the drama is broadly sketched to teach a moral lesson.
Culture Mix
Carla Hay
Alpha has multiple themes that are disjointed in this 'fever dream' drama about a 13-year-old girl, her single mother, and the mother's drug-addicted brother. The movie has visually striking symbolism about the AIDS crisis but a very flimsy story.
Hey, Have You Seen ...?
Jared Mobarak
It's weird to say considering Julia Ducournau's previous films, but her latest is a lot-[just not] in the same sense. With loud music, gorgeous marble-skinned special effects, and extreme anguish, Alpha isn't for the faint of heart.
Spectrum Culture
Tanner Gordon
Ducournau is simply too thoughtful and striking a craftsman to produce an unengaging film, but her script struggles to reconcile its intellectual focus with the demands of a coherent narrative.
New York Times
Jeannette Catsoulis
Softer and gentler than either of its forbears, "Alpha" hums with a dreamlike unease, a movie less concerned with sensation than with genuine feeling.
Geek Vibes Nation
Cameron Ritter
Ducournau's junior feature Alpha is a solidly constructed, if overstuffed, film looking at what a disease outbreak might look like
Mark Reviews Movies
Mark Dujsik
Is a striking visual metaphor enough to carry a movie? Writer/director Julia Ducournau ... is counting on that with Alpha.
The Reveal
Keith Phipps
Alpha is Ducournau's most restrained film, one short on some of the stylistic bravado of her previous work. But there's a studied intimacy that mostly works as an effective substitute.
WeHo Times
Jeff Nelson
Alpha feels deeply personal, which makes it all the more disappointing that it's encapsulated in a vexing AIDS allegory.
Under the Radar
George Bate
But one thing is for certain after watching Alpha, Ducournau is a filmmaker who challenges audiences unlike any other and creates films that may not necessarily be enjoyed but will almost certainly be greatly appreciated.
Deep Focus Review
Brian Eggert
It shows us Ducournau is interested in more than sensationalism. And much like Raw and Titane, Alpha is a film of profound empathy.
Kermode and Mayo's Take (YouTube)
Mark Kermode
I thought it was strangely beautiful.
AV Club
Tomris Laffly
An inexplicably shallow AIDS allegory.
The New Yorker
Justin Chang
A repetitive, unattractive, and finally unrewarding slog, in which Ducournau's filmmaking verve itself seems to harden into lifelessness.
New York Magazine/Vulture
Alison Willmore
. Alpha is more evidence of Ducournau's genius for evocative imagery and striking compositions, but it also suggests she'd benefit from boundaries to push against.
RogerEbert.com
Brian Tallerico
"Alpha" has a few striking visuals, but they're in service of a movie that runs out of ideas and things to say before it's even close to half over, forcing viewers to suffer the rest of this misfire in a sort of numb daze.
TheWrap
Chase Hutchinson
As Alpha's family becomes increasingly isolated, the film's ambition widens. Though the rhythms of this can take some getting used to, the resulting emotional payoff is more than worth your patience.
The Hollywood Reporter
Jordan Mintzer
You've got to give Ducournau credit for refusing to settle down or take the Hollywood route after winning the Palme, but you also have to wonder if her latest feature will please anyone but her.
IndieWire
David Ehrlich
The maddening frustration of [Julia Ducournau's] first unambiguous misfire -- which is worse than bad because it could have been good -- is that it feels so much, but conveys so little.
Variety
Peter Debruge
It's painful to watch such talents pour so much into roles that are fairly common, if not clichéd by American indie standards.
