BARBER

“A rather interesting commentary on how Irish society is reappraising its old system of values.” — Totally Dublin 

ONE FINE MORNING

“There is such a lovely chemistry between Seydoux and Greggory, and between her and Poupaud there is real erotic languor and romance.” 4/5 — The Guardian 

“Hansen-Løve’s work is heartfelt yet profound, emotionally and mentally engaging in ways few films dare to balance. Her latest work, One Fine Morning is no different.” 4/4 — Roger Ebert 

“Seydoux’s performance has a calm, understated quality that helps gives the movie a natural, comfortable flow.” — The New York Times  

“Hansen-Løve’s filmmaking feels as comfortingly lived-in as a hand-me-down cardigan” — Variety 

RAGING BULL

“Cinematic art from an actor and director at the height of their powers.” — The Irish Times 

“Incandescent with monochrome beauty.” 5/5 — The Guardian 

“Distinguished from Scorsese’s earlier films, and from pretty much anyone’s films at any time, by its stillness, abstraction, and quiet.” — The New Yorker 

THREE COLOURS: RED

“Feelings of deja vu have rarely been more pleasurably evoked” — The Irish Times 

“The final chapter of the director’s trilogy considers our incurious habits by brooding on coincidence and fate” 5/5 — The Guardian 

“Exquisitely shot, superbly acted and deftly written, this is easily one of the best arthouse films of the nineties.” 4/5 — Empire 

“One of the very greatest cinematic achievements of the last few decades. A masterpiece.” — Time Out
