Luz Ratings & Reviews
Shade Studios
Alfred Castaneda
It's hard not to wonder what a concept like this would have looked like in the hands of a more seasoned sci-fi veteran - perhaps someone like Denis Villeneuve or Alex Garland.

Ruth Maramis
The story doesn't quite match its stunning visuals as there's a lack of emotional depth in the relationships. That said, LUZ was still a worthy watch, and Huppert's joie de vivre is electrifying.
Deep Focus Review
Brian Eggert
If Lau's film naively ignores the downfalls of losing oneself in virtual worlds, it shows that, in some cases, such devices may work as intended.

Nicholas Bell
As a portrait of Hong Kong as a neon-lit demimonde, Flora Lau's LUZ is transfixing but even with a healthy dose of Isabelle Huppert as a fashionably ailing focal point, the narrative's deliberations on the virtual world vs. reality only succeeds in...
The Verge
Andrew Webster
It attempts to throw in some tension through other means...but ultimately Luz is too meandering to remain captivating for long.
The Playlist
Chase Hutchinson
In the end, it reveals itself as a staging of a lived-in world but without any textures to make it so. The more the characters chase after it, the less and less it feels like they're ever getting anywhere.
Collider
Therese Lacson
Luz is an ambitious film but one that overreaches a little and becomes jumbled as a result. Still, it shows promise for filmmaker Flora Lau.
Variety
Carlos Aguilar
If only the drama measured up to the aesthetics, "Luz" would shine.
The Film Stage
Jordan Raup
Coupled with Mimi Xu's pulsing electronic score, there's an impressive mise-en-scène conjured throughout the parallel adventures that attempts to make up for a script that seems stuck in first gear.

Brian Tallerico
a film that's ultimately as shallow as the virtual worlds that its characters occupy.
But Why Tho?
James Preston Poole
The failure to really make something of its concept and obviously talented cast leaves LUZ as disconnected from its audience as those in the virtual world might be from reality.

Joseph Robinson
While Luz is visually impressive, it has about as much life as the virtual reality it showcases.
Autostraddle
Drew Gregory
At times the dialogue is blunt, the script not quite as remarkable as the style, but I still found myself fully connected to these people and their searching.
AwardsWatch
Reuben Baron
Whether LUZ's style is enough to compensate for its underdeveloped and not particularly original substance will divide audiences, but watching it after a few bigger disappointments at Sundance leaves me feeling charitable.
The Hollywood Reporter
Jordan Mintzer
The powerful imagery makes up for a narrative that often strains to create drama, even if it touches upon some interesting themes.
TheWrap
Elizabeth Weitzman
A visually stunning meditation on connectivity and isolation
Slant Magazine
Anzhe Zhang
In the end, the thematic dots that bind the two plotlines together do little to make up for the lack of emotional details in the film's character arcs.
