5 / 5
Translated from swedish: Brutal and twisted about a woman who has a baby with a car

4 / 5
Translated from swedish: Do you dare watch a film where the director races like her life depends on it, kicking hard and unpredictably like a wild stallion, where metal fragments summon boundless godlike monsters and their perversions reign without question? Step into the darkness of the cinema and be consumed.

4 / 5
Translated from swedish: Award-winning French "Titanium" welds together the tired combination of sexy woman/hot car into something new and soldering-iron hot.
- Kerstin GezeliusSwedish: dn.se »
-
4 / 5
Translated from swedish: A cinematic masterclass that feels impossible to rate. Could easily be both a two and a four. "Good" is too blunt a word. Rather taxing and relentlessly fascinating. Sink into the passenger seat and let "Titanium"... happen.

4 / 5
Translated from swedish: It's quite a tricky balancing act where the film sometimes stumbles off its tightrope, but I can admire filmmakers who just dust themselves off, throw their heads back in maniacal laughter, and climb back up to squeeze every last drop out of their panic-stricken audience.

4 / 5
Translated from swedish: In the absolutely unique "Titanium", we follow an ice-cold woman with metal in her head who has sex with cars and kills anyone who pisses her off. The year's sickest film is definitely here, and it's absolutely fantastic.

Positive, no rating
Translated from swedish: You don't exactly feel good watching "Titanium" – but you're filled with this other, somewhat hard-to-define feeling that often distinguishes truly great cinema.

-
3 / 5
Translated from swedish: Titane is shockingly different and genre-crossing, which is popular with critics right now. I'm not that impressed.
- Björn JanssonSwedish: sverigesradio.se »
-
6 / 10
Translated from swedish: I think Ducournau is fundamentally out to shock and provoke above all else, while also being artistic. It's supposed to be "edgy." She succeeds somewhat, I guess.

5 / 10
Translated from swedish: Despite its slow start, the film manages to address many of its shortcomings toward the end. It can sometimes feel calculatedly violent and tries to shock the audience just for the sake of it. But despite that, it's a pleasure to watch the story unfold and it offers many moments that really grab hold of you. Definitely an overhyped film that's still well worth watching!

3 / 6
Translated from swedish: Not every movie is for everyone. "Titanium" definitely isn't. But if you're looking for a film that will challenge you, surprise you. For better or worse (and it will feel like worse). Then there's one about a woman with titanium in her head, and a fireman with steroids in his ass.
- Daniel Hånberg AlonsoSwedish: ng.se »
-
1 / 5
Translated from swedish: Visual effects spectacle dominates this year's Cannes winner, which borrows heavily from David Cronenberg's films. The fact that the protagonist Alexia – who gains superpowers after an accident – has sex with a hot car doesn't make the movie any better.
- Mats JohnsonSwedish: gp.se »
-
2 / 10
Translated from swedish: Whatever vision and meaning Julia Ducournau had for the film, it has become highly talked about. A film that tries to push all boundaries and does so in a speculative way.
