Her Smell Reviews
Moss gives a remarkable, scene-stealing performance here, but unfortunately, the portrayal of the self-destructive rock star is unnecessarily long and has almost no dramatic pulse. [Full review in Spanish]
In the middle of it all is Elisabeth Moss in a decade-defining performance, simultaneously just as unhinged as it is beautiful...
In short: I liked the movie, and didn’t find it nearly as trying as its quickly-developing reputation would suggest.
As a punk rocker, Elisabeth Moss is insufferable yet irresistible in Alex Ross Perry’s sustained anxiety attack of a movie.
Her Smell is both intoxicating and nightmarish, perfectly capturing the feeling of being in the orbit of such a histrionic and toxic creature. You want to leave and yet somehow you don’t want to miss what happens next.
Episode 41: Best of 2019 So Far
Elisabeth Moss is exquisite in Alex Ross Perry's surprising and genuinely moving portrait of a fictional 90s punk singer.
Perry stages the movie not like a biopic, but like a distended, sometimes punishing version of the micro-biography structure that's become popular over the course of the decade.
It's like Vox Lux with less makeup and no stage choreography-a masochistic wallow in another well-acted but repellant personality whose music isn't all that inviting, either.
While the film as a whole is exemplary, it's Moss's performance that single handedly makes it one of the year's best.
There is only one sticking point here, and it could be a deal breaker for some: the running time is a way too excessive 130 minutes-plus.
It may crumble under pacing issues and a total cop out of an ending, but Her Smell has more than enough flashes of wonder and a stellar lead performance.
There have been plenty of movies about self-destructive rock musicians, but none quite like this.
The movie refuses to present a conventional narrative. Instead, it gives us a half-dozen Very Long Scenes full of nervous energy and self-importance.
Lunatic '90's indie punk rocker movie that's not likable but difficult to reject.
Elisabeth Moss is a force of nature in Alex Ross Perry's riotous five-act drama. If there were any justice in the world she'd be an Oscar lock.
There's a claustrophobic, almost airless feeling to this -- it's almost suffocating, but it's always compelling.
The film ultimately becomes a parable of understanding the fact that togetherness can save more than one soul and every scene that comes in the last act is a testament to longing, change, and growth.
When you take away the raw aesthetics and fantastic performances Her Smell is a rather ordinary tale. Becky's journey and growth don't break the cinematic boundaries, as much as it wants to.
Like its lead character, Alex Ross Perry's Her Smell is a chaotic, draining mess, an emotional rollercoaster where they forgot to buckle the safety belts.
