The Velvet Queen Ratings & Reviews
Riokin Manuel
March 6, 2025
Quality of image and philosophy, care for nature and love. Exeptionnal and surely some of the best images captures in the 2020's
Spirituality & Health
Bilge Ebiri
Some viewers may not be entirely on board with the heady (and oh-so French) rumination. But get on this movie's wavelength and its spell will last long after the end credits have rolled.
Hyperallergic
Eileen G'Sell
Rather than celebrate intrepid man capturing, and controlling, the magic of "nature," the film focuses more on how nature watches us.
Third Coast Review
Lisa Trifone
The Velvet Queen stands alone as a thrilling peek into this very specific place on the planet at this very specific time in our global history.

Mark Dujsik
The Velvet Queen is beautiful, but more importantly, it mirrors the serene nature of its subject.
Newport This Week (RI)
Loren King
One of the most breathtaking documentaries of this or any year.
Chicago Tribune
Michael Phillips
Beautiful if surprisingly gabby...
San Jose Mercury News
Randy Myers
Besides the stunning, stirring camerawork, "Queen" one-ups other adventure docs with its meditative quality...
Washington Post
Michael O'Sullivan
Even if the idea of this film does not appeal to you, please consider it anyway.
Screen Slate
Amy Taubin
[A] remarkably constructed and photographed documentary [that] rewards our eyes with glorious, even sublime images.

Claudia Puig
It's slow cinema, but I felt like I had taken a journey to the Tibetan landscape.

What an epic cat movie!
Cinemalogue
Todd Jorgenson
Taking a different approach than the average nature documentary, the result charms the senses while pondering humankind's place in the world.

Susan Wloszczyna
There is plenty of beauty as well as a procession of enchanting wild beasts in Marie Amiguet and Vincent Munier's nature doc The Velvet Queen.
Hammer to Nail
Christopher Llewellyn Reed
If you like your nature and wildlife captured in images of exquisite beauty, have I got a film for you.

Brian Tallerico
[A] calming, meditative experience.
New York Times
Ben Kenigsberg
The documentary "The Velvet Queen" asks viewers to experience solitude in a way that is difficult to achieve in a movie theater.
Los Angeles Times
Robert Abele
Gorgeous, humbling, looking out-, up- and inward, the documentary "The Velvet Queen" is the rare nature film about not only beauty and beasts but also the very human urge to make sense of our place in it all.
In Review Online
Joshua Minsoo Kim
The Velvet Queen is instructive ... in having viewers embrace the beauty of a mode of thinking where humans don't have supremacy over the rest of the world.
Slant Magazine
Pat Brown
Long stretches of the film are simply mesmerizing, but both Sylvain Tesson's written compositions and the conversation between him and Vincent Munier often lapse into clichés about the distractions and decadence of modern society.
