'Beyond' would be more interesting with limitations.

2.5/5

Comprehensibility does not appear to be one of this writer/director's goals, but if someone is able to help Cosmatos marshal his raw visual talent, I'll be first in line to see his second film.

1.5/4

"Beyond the Black Rainbow" has a doomy, dreamy, druggy, draggy feel that's impressively sustained - until it becomes oppressive, then pointless, then laughable.

3/5

The razor-thin narrative feels mainly like a delivery system for psychedelic visuals and an enchanting musical score, but that's not necessarily a bad thing.

4.5/5

An excellent plot that wasn't developed the right way

This movie is slow, boring and pointless. This movie ruined Scootermas.

A little slow but the seeds of Mandy's greatness can be seen here.

Pure visual experience. 1,5 hour videoclip

An overlooked work that was ahead of its time in its deconstruction of 80s underground horror.
