Please help me gather all the professional reviews for the Marry The Night video please! I have these one, but they are not completed!
Positive :
Quote:
"It's a succinct summary of Gaga's aesthetic, but the video itself is a sprawling epic, with the song preceded by several minutes of cheeky, artsy psycho-drama set in a mental health clinic. There's ballet, nudity, fashion from the future, French dialogue, cars on fire, a little bit of weeping, and lots and lots of dancing. Even compared to other Gaga video epics, this one seems particularly crazy and ambitious."
—Rolling Stone's Matthew Perpetua talking about the video for "Marry the Night".

Mixed :
Quote:
NME's Priya Elan wrote that Gaga sounds like "a lobotomized Carrie Bradshaw" during the introduction. He also commented, "It’s definitely an improvement on 'Judas', but could it maybe have been snipped a bit to make it shorter?"
Quote:
Kathryn Kattalia compared Gaga with Madonna in several scenes in the video. Kattalia further praised the dancing during the video, describing it as "her best". However, she criticized the scenes of nudity noting: "The rest of the video is pretty tame by Gaga standards."
Negative :
Quote:
Spin's Marc Hogan wrote that "it's hard to tell where Gaga is winking at us and where she's simply fallen into a foxhole of unrestrained ego."
Well, it's not that hard to pick up on them. The references, I believe, are merely coincidental. Both films revolve around the same story (underdog slaying).
Spin Magazine couldn’t get past Gaga’s self-indulgence: referencing the “interminable introduction” stating, “It’s hard to tell where Gaga is winking at us and where she’s simply fallen into a foxhole of unrestrained ego."
