Critics consensus

“Strong performances and a visually striking finale notwithstanding, Alpha ultimately frustrates with its unwieldy structure and imbalanced blend of fantastical and realistic elements.”

This movie is terrible and a huge letdown.

What this movie has going for it are good performances -- deeply, deeply moving performances.

Even if the pieces that make up Alpha never quite fit together, it’s still extraordinary on a scene-by-scene basis.

Ducournau makes a kind of sensitive and embodied cinema, insofar as the mise-en-scène is twisted to evoke the bodily experiences of her female protagonists. [Full review in Spanish]
