White Noise

After an hour, when the plot hadn't moved an inch, when the dialogues hadn't broken out of the strangeness they had been brimming with since the beginning, and when I hadn't laughed even once at the "humour", I mercilessly turned the film off. It is clear to me from the reviews here that it simply won't get better. A tragedy for wannabe critics that kills with its 140 minutes on paper alone, not that anyone could realistically want to watch it to the end... (01/03/2023)

Noah Baumbach's ego trip — a film that runs for over two hours and ultimately goes nowhere. Classic Netflix, giving creators free rein without considering if such a long and conceptually challenging movie will actually entertain viewers. (01/16/2023)

White Noise means nearly 140 minutes spent with incredibly annoying characters in a pastel-coloured allegorical world. What I enjoyed about it was the 5 minutes where it becomes almost a Crazy Griswold Family Vacation. After Amsterdam, another overwrought film by an overconfident filmmaker, who should have had a producer, a playwright and an editor at his back, who would have thrown out 50 minutes of dysfunctional wadding.

Nonsense of a similar level as the latest Iñarritú. This trend of a streaming giant giving an A-list director unlimited funds to film whatever he or she wants without scrutiny is becoming unbearable and needs to end, as it produces always the same: a ridiculously long, egomaniacal, unfocused mess. There are some interesting details, and the craftsmanship is good, but it doesn't hold together at all. (12/30/2022)
