Reviews

Critically, Boogie Woogie has evoked a range of responses, which can be seen in its IMDb rating of 5.1/10 and a disheartening score of just 32% on Rotten Tomatoes. While some critics praised the film's vibrant portrayal of the art world, others found it uneven and lacking depth. According to The Guardian, the film 'offers a curious insight into the whims of the art community but ultimately gets bogged down by its overly complicated narrative.' The reviewer from IndieWire remarked on the film's production design, saying it is 'visually arresting and captures the eccentricity of the art scene well,' yet critiqued its reliance on stereotypes. On Metacritic, it received a score of 34, indicating generally unfavorable reviews. Overall, while 'Boogie Woogie' does offer some engaging performances and a fascinating backdrop, many feel that it falters due to a convoluted storyline and underdeveloped characters. As one user on Rotten Tomatoes succinctly put it, 'A beautiful mess of ideas that often misses its mark.'
