Critics, per Wikipedia

Siddhant Adlakha of Variety praised A. Rimbaud's original approach to classical "Hollywood epics", describing it as a "black box Lawrence of Arabia". Writing for Reverse Shot, Jawni Han similarly raved about the film's originality, highlighting Wang's "fastidious mise-en-scène and prosodic undertaking." In his review for Sight and Sound, Philip Concannon singles out Draper's performance as having "great confidence and linguistic dexterity" and complements the conceit of musical instruments representing the film's other characters. Peter Bradshaw of The Guardian also praises the "commitment" of Draper's performance, but criticises aspects of the narrative as being too opaque and "demanding.".

    A very good review from Keith Uhlich of Patrick Wang's one-man biopic A. Rimbaud, which plays @nwfilmforum.bsky.social with Wang in attendance, for one night only, Oct 20. According to Uhlich, Wang is self-distributing. NWFF also screened his last film, the excellent 2018 two-parter A Bread Factory.

    Total Eclipse. I'm an Agnieszka Holland fan, a Rimbaud and Verlaine fan & a David Thewlis fan. But this film is excruciatingly bad as well as very upsetting. Mainly I blame DiCaprio. I'm still friends with my date, 30 years later. Trauma bonding.

    Wow, what an incredible review of this Rimbaud movie. “Six decades ago, David Lean ventured to the sprawling sandstone mountains of Wadi Rum to film the world’s most interesting canvas: the human face. This credo is not dissimilar from that of Winnipeg-shot “A. Rimbaud…” *yes, I’m also family proud.
