- Rick Aragon @ Rick’s Texan Reviews
- Excerpt: Megalopolis is grandiose, at times incoherent, even downright bonkers. Yet, I enjoyed almost every crazy moment in it.
- Chris Barsanti @ PopMatters
- Excerpt: Francis Ford Coppola’s bonkers “fable” about the clash of dreams and cynicism, ‘Megalopolis,’ has a potent but unfounded belief in its importance.
- Andrea Chase @ KillerMovieReviews.com
- Excerpt: A ravishing schematic of a failed intellectual epic.
- Laura Clifford @ Reeling Reviews
- Excerpt: while it is often incomprehensible it is certainly never boring. I’m glad I saw it, but this one is probably only for hard core cinephiles.
- Sarah Gopaul @ Digital Journal
- Excerpt: The glossy imagery that transports audiences into this strange world in which past, present and future converge is repeatedly upended by Coppola’s need for visual excess. In the end, it makes an interesting film difficult to remain engaged with, thwarting its own best efforts to make a compelling statement.
- Richard Gray @ The Reel Bits
- Excerpt: Almost four decades in the making, Francis Ford Coppola’s magnum opus arrives in all of its gloriously insane delights.
- Anne Hoyt @ La Cronica [Spanish]
- Excerpt: La idea era buena, pero va degenerando como estilos arquitectónicos; arranca como neo-clásico, se vuelve futurístico, luego gótico, Art-Deco, Barroco y termina en Rococó.
- Aaron Neuwirth @ We Live Entertainment
- Excerpt: Bold in approach, not afraid to embrace some of its inherent silliness, and not misplacing showmanship with overt showiness, there’s real value to seeing this sort of art on display at a grand level, regardless of how much of a tough sell it may be.
- Diego Salgado @ Sofilm [Spanish]
- Josh Thayer @ The Forgetful Film Critic
- Excerpt: Megalopolis is a complete mess of a movie. It’s a wonderful, terrible, exuberant, plodding, laughable, earnest mess. Its gargantuan ambition and scale won’t be denied.
- [New] | Sebastian Zavala @ Cinencuentro.com [Spanish]
- Excerpt: Sometimes beautiful, at other times, horrible; inspired by mythology, history, philosophy and theatre, but also by the digital aesthetics of 21st-century superhero cinema; energetic in some instances, but tedious in others.
