Ever since Adam (Jim Sturgess) and Eden (Kirsten Dunst) fell in love as teens, their bond has faced astronomical odds. The pair are separated not just by social class and a political system bent on keeping them apart, but also by a freak planetary condition: they live on twinned worlds with… More

Critic Reviews

  • James Adams, Globe and Mail

    Soon enough the worlds of Up Top and Down Below feel like distractions, CGI Potemkin villages.

  • Peter Howell, Toronto Star

    A Romeo and Juliet story for the age of CGI overkill, Upside Down zigs where it should zag and dulls where it should dazzle.

  • Richard Corliss, TIME Magazine

    Absent any emotional grounding, the film is a gorgeous, sterile construction, like a dream city unoccupied by humans.

  • Peter Sobczynski, Chicago Sun-Times

    Simply put, this is one of the craziest films to come along in a while and I can confidently say that anyone who sees it will either hail it is some kind of crackpot masterpiece or dismiss it as one of the silliest damn things they've ever seen.

  • Stephen Whitty, Newark Star-Ledger

    It doesn't really develop its story, or its themes. It doesn't truly draw out its characters. It evokes no serious emotions. It has - in the end - no gravity.

    Upside Down (2013, France-Canada) is a fantasy feature set in an alternate Universe with opposing worlds, literally and figuratively. Employing a "forbidden love" drama, Upside Down, amid great photography and concept, fails to sustain energy for the audience to believe.

  • Dead A


    It was released in 2012 not 2013.

  • Caesar M


    Imagine my surprise after watching this movie and discovering it is set to be release a year later. Why? Dozen of people have clearly already seen the movie and those who have seen it were left underwhelm with the whole experience. As much it does pain me to tell the community this a… More

  • Philip P


    The concept of Upside Down is enough to intrigue anyone, but what that concept ultimately becomes is a bit of a let down in terms of what the synopsis and trailers seemingly promise. That isn't to say this is a bad film or that I'd accuse it of false advertising, but it is… More
