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
