About this movie

From director Gaspar Noé (Irreversible; Enter the Void; Love) comes a hypnotic, hallucinatory, and ultimately hair-raising depiction of a party that descends into delirium over the course of one wintry night. In Climax, a troupe of young dancers gathers in a remote and empty school building to rehearse. Following an unforgettable opening performance lit by virtuoso cinematographer Benoît Debie (Spring Breakers; Enter the Void) and shot by Noé himself, the troupe begins an all-night celebration that turns nightmarish as the dancers discover they've been pounding cups of sangria laced with potent LSD. Tracking their journey from jubilation to chaos and full-fledged anarchy, Noé observes crushes, rivalries, and violence amid a collective psychedelic meltdown. Starring Sofia Boutella (Atomic Blonde) and a cast of professional dancers, Climax is Noé's most brazen and visionary statement yet.

I would give this zero stars if I could, Jesus what a terrible movie it's nothing but long drawn out scenes of literally nothing. Please take my advice if you're thinking of watching this - Don't. I promise you it's garbage and a waste of time

To make it short, a movie about an unlikable group of idiots running back and forth down hallways screaming into the air for no reason. The worst movie of the decade. The arsty fartsy hipster morons will love this one though.

This movie is incredibly bad. The film description makes it sound like they wrote a plot.. but that's all lies. The opening credits (literally) are 45 minutes into a 90-minute movie. The story is non-existent; instead you are presented with well-acted but terribly-written characters you hate.. and when they start attacking one another there's no reason behind it. This movie can be summed up as "random people hurting one another". It may as well be a clip show of nonsensical homicide.
