- Laura Clifford @ Reeling Reviews
- Excerpt: Almost ten years after another cinematic provocateur, Michael Haneke, made a film about an elderly couple with a single child facing mortality (“Amour”), along comes writer/director Gaspar Noé with his take and it is far and away the superior film.
- Jared Mobarak @ JaredMobarak.com
- Excerpt: While his messaging and execution are sound and the film objectively effective, I wouldn’t fault anyone for falling asleep before realizing it. Nor those rejoicing upon its end.
- [New] | C.H. Newell @ Father Son Holy Gore
- Excerpt: Noé focuses on the end stages of life and how ageing, as well as illnesses like dementia and Alzheimer’s disease, can turn us into haunted houses, ghosts of ourselves and our lives trapped within the still-living vessel of our flesh and blood.
- Diego Salgado @ SoFilm [Spanish]
- Josh Thayer (formerly Taylor) @ The Forgetful Film Critic
- Excerpt: Vortex is a horror movie with zero scares. The terror comes when the quotidian slams into the uncertainty and agony of old age and old bodies that no longer function properly.
