2.5/4
No frame of this film could be mistaken for "reality," and the result is surprisingly intimate. Go to Full Review
Philip Concannon Sight & Sound Aug 20, 2026
Wang expects audiences to meet him halfway, and I admit it took me a while to find the film’s wavelength, but there is much to reward the engaged viewer, and the director commits so wholeheartedly to every idea he makes you want to follow him. Go to Full Review

3/5
It’s a diverting spectacle, yet for all the vehemence and the commitment of the performance, it’s not easy to gauge precisely what makes Rimbaud change his mind and art as radically as he does from poetry to commercialism. Go to Full Review

The long-winded Wang gravely overestimates an audience’s capacity to empathize with (much less take interest in) such an insufferable subject, regardless of how important he might’ve been. Go to Full Review
