France Reviews
AV Club
Ignatiy Vishnevetsky
[Dumont] is more than capable of making movies that are engaging on a level beyond the purely intellectual. France, for the most part, isn't one of them.
RogerEbert.com
Simon Abrams
As usual, Dumont is a more interesting director than screenwriter.
San Francisco Chronicle
Mick LaSalle
With Seydoux, we believe in France's reality. Her despair runs deep and suggests depths within this woman that are hidden to herself.
Chicago Tribune
Michael Phillips
Even when it's outlining its own ideas more through rhetoric than character, "France" keeps us on our toes regarding what's around the corner.
Washington Post
Michael O'Sullivan
[A] tasty and nutritious bouillabaisse of a film...
Detroit News
Adam Graham
Something here feels lost in translation. "France" is like trying to complete a puzzle when one of the pieces is missing.
Chicago Reader
Kathleen Sachs
Dumont's signature inscrutability remains intriguing but perhaps more frivolous here; Seydoux's inspired performance helps to ground it.
FilmWeek (KPCC - NPR Los Angeles)
Tim Cogshell
It's a fantastic movie... It's very pointed and very funny.
FilmWeek (KPCC - NPR Los Angeles)
Peter Rainer
[Léa Seydoux] is very good in the movie. If a lesser actress were in it, it wouldn't be worth seeing.
Los Angeles Times
Mark Olsen
In part because of the depth of Seydoux's performance, the film becomes less an allegory of a nation and more a gripping character study, a portrait of a mask of personal and professional regard slowly slipping away.
New York Times
A.O. Scott
A potentially insightful exploration of the loss of self in a media-saturated world amounts, in the end, to a series of shallow images.
New Yorker
Richard Brody
Amid the film's riotous satire involving tricked-out news and political distortions, Dumont plants a melancholy melodrama of an identity crisis...
Variety
Peter Debruge
For those willing to take it seriously, there's a lot here to unpack. The rest will probably just reach for the remote.
TheWrap
Ben Croll
It's all too much, too long, too repetitive, too one-note, too contemptuous of the very idea of cinematic pleasure to really land.
Hollywood Reporter
Boyd van Hoeij
More often than not, the staging feels conventional rather than uncompromising. The tone is rarely intense. On the contrary, it is hard to figure out what Dumont's vision really was for this work.
Deadline Hollywood Daily
Anna Smith
Dumont throws major drama at the screen, but doesn't invite us to be moved by it. This begins as an intriguing portrait of fame, but by the time France has been asked for her twentieth selfie, it's as wearing on the audience as it is on her.
Backseat Mafia
Rob Aldam
The entire film her canvas, breaking more walls than a whole demolition crew.
Washington City Paper
Alan Zilberman
Seydoux is a terrific actor, striking and enigmatic. Unlike Brooks and Dreyer, she suffers in service of a filmmaker who fails her.
The Newnan Times-Herald
Jonathan W. Hickman
Beginning as an edgy satire, "France" becomes much more personal and thoughtful as we follow our protagonist through a crushing breakdown.
Newcity
Ray Pride
A satire of modern media turns into something tragic... Gorgeously shot, wholeheartedly despairing and often extremely funny, in Seydoux's performance, it's a slippery portrait of a modern professional losing control of both surfaces and depths.
