Planetarium

In 1930s Paris, two sisters, Laura and Kate Barlow, claim to be able to communicate with spirits through a unique form of cinema. They are approached by a wealthy industrialist, André Korben, who wishes to hire them for a grand project. As they delve into this new endeavor, the sisters' spiritual abilities and their personal lives become increasingly intertwined with Korben's ambitions, leading them down a path of mystery and revelation.

Planetarium received mixed reviews from critics, with some praising its ambitious themes and visual style, while others found its narrative to be uneven and its pacing slow. The performances of the lead actresses were generally well-received, but the film struggled to fully coalesce its various elements into a cohesive whole.

• Visually striking but narratively muddled.

• The performances of Portman and Depp are highlights, but can't save the film.

• An intriguing premise that doesn't quite live up to its potential.

Google audience: Audiences found the film to be visually appealing and appreciated the performances, but many felt the story lacked focus and was not engaging enough. Some viewers enjoyed the spiritual and mystical elements, while others were disappointed by the slow pace and underdeveloped plot.
