Reviews of "Annette" have been mixed, with many film critics praising the film's imagination and vitality, while others feel that its execution does not match its premise. The following is a summary of the reviews of "Annette":

"'Annette' is a masterful manipulation of paradoxes. It is a very cerebral and formally complex film about unbridled emotion. A work of art motivated by skepticism about where art comes from and why we value it the way we do. A fantastical film that attacks our culture's most cherished fantasies. Totally unrealistic and totally truthful. - A.O. Scott, The New York Times

"This is not a film for everyone. Even Carax enthusiasts will agree that it is indulgent, that the themes are too big (the story is cool, but not really what it's about), and that it is 20 minutes too long. But a film as original and irreverent as this is a near endangered species in the show business ecosystem of 2021." - Dana Stevens, Slate

". 'Annette' is not the film I wanted, nor is it the film I didn't know I wanted. It's gorgeous to watch, but too super organized to be genuinely moving. I keep believing that I would like it more if I thought about it more, but it's time to give up. Annette is a gorgeous looking and often inventive film, but not a great one." - Stephanie Zacharek, Time

"It's an extravagant, emotional rock opera that mixes comedy and tragedy, showbiz satire and doomed romance. If you don't fit its bizarre wavelength, you may not fit it at all. But every moment, in its unprecedented audacity, I found myself appreciating the film for what it is." - Justin Chang, NPR

". Annette sweats terribly in its attempts to shock, titillate, and confuse. There is little substance and a lot of nervous structure. Driver and Cotillard's committed performances are superb, and the film is at times dizzyingly surreal and uplifting with loud musical numbers. Not often enough, though. - Richard Lawson, Vanity Fair
