Parthenope Ratings & Reviews
Arizona Republic
Bill Goodykoontz
The longer the movie goes on, the older Parthenope gets. The older she gets, the weirder the story gets. And the weirder the story gets, the more I liked it.
AMovieGuy.com
Leo Brady
Parthenope is about life itself-youth, aging, the passion for love, and what it means to be alive. We live vicariously through the woman at its heart.
Washington Post
Michael O'Sullivan
It's just another of Sorrentino's many impressionistic vignettes about Naples that don't add up to much.
San Jose Mercury News
Randy Myers
You're in for a never-boring transcendent cinematic experience that sizzles way hotter than "Challengers" and is as fascinating as it is endlessly frustrating and rigorously audacious.
FilmWeek (LAist)
Tim Cogshell
What the movie's about is this: beauty is wonderful, but it wreaks havoc.
Los Angeles Times
Robert Abele
Without a character that we feel connected to, even Parthenope's great beauty, meant to suggest Naples itself, qualifies as an overburdened resource.
San Francisco Chronicle
Brandon Yu
By the end, you can't help but see Sorrentino as an earnest poet, but also one whose pretty-sounding, lushly filmed musings are for the sake of hearing his own voice rather than for creating coherent, earned meaning.
Rolling Stone
David Fear
Della Porta certainly works overtime to show you that Parthenope is indeed more than just a pretty face. Yet her efforts keep getting undermined by Sorrentino's own inability to get beyond the beauty himself.
AV Club
Ignatiy Vishnevetsky
Parthenope can't overcome the very prosaic problem of a main character who isn't really much of a character at all.
The Daily Beast
Nick Schager
As sumptuous and vapid as a commercial for Dior or Chanel's latest fragrance.
Observer
Emily Zemler
That's ultimately what Parthenope is: a spectacle. Sorrentino frames stunning scenes, almost like a series of editorial fashion shoots, but the story becomes lost in the aesthetics.
RogerEbert.com
Isaac Feldberg
A modern myth of beauty incarnate-striking, seductive, and forever out of reach.
New York Times
Beatrice Loayza
At least the hypnotizing Dalla Porta brings a strength and sadness to the role that underscores the film's most compelling argument.
Slant Magazine
Seth Katz
The film's succession of symbolically loaded vignettes is less meaningful than intended.
TheWrap
Steve Pond
"Parthenope" is a work of casual mastery; you could say that it's great and it's beautiful.
Variety
Siddhant Adlakha
An exquisite treatise on cinematic beauty
The New Yorker
Justin Chang
[Parthenope is] played by Celeste Dalla Porta, a great beauty indeed and an empathetic screen presence, though only fitfully does her character seem worthy of this movie's epic enshrinement.
New York Magazine/Vulture
Bilge Ebiri
In creating a film about one beautiful person, Sorrentino reminds us that, in our memories, we were all beautiful once.
The Hollywood Reporter
David Rooney
Dalla Porta can't build a flesh-and-blood character out of a woman who seems as billowy and insubstantial as the movie that bears her name.
IndieWire
David Ehrlich
Parthenope is considerably less dreamlike than some of the director's previous work, but vast stretches of the movie seem to exist in nebulous pockets of non-time, if only because of their weird unreality.
