“Juliette Binoche and Vincent Lindon deliver the dramatic goods in French master Claire Denis’ nuanced exploration of married life” – Little White Lies
“French director Claire Denis completes a trilogy of top-tier Juliette Binoche movies (after High Life and Let the Sunshine In) with a deceptively knotty tale of middle-aged love gone awry.” 4/5 – The Times
“Layered, tactile drama fuelled by an emotionally devastating Binoche” 4/5 – The Scotsman
“Hypnotic, maddening, pervy and disturbing. In other words, vintage Cronenberg. The doomy slow-burn won’t be to all tastes, but its abstract, feverish images are pure nightmare fuel” 4/5 – Empire
“A spiritual sequel to cult classics Videodrome and eXistenZ by positing an alternate reality in which technology and human flesh are evolving as one, mutating the species in ways that are scary, strange and sensual.” 4/5 – The Scotsman
“Saoirse Ronan delights and charms in murder mystery spoof.” – The Independent
“Even if the sun is splitting the stones, make weekend time for this gem. It’s defiantly old-school, a great showcase for Saoirse Ronan’s comedy chops.” 4/5 – RTÉ
“It’s fast, funny and frequently stylish, topped off with great work by Sam Rockwell and especially Saoirse Ronan.” 4/5 – Empire
“A smart homage to Agatha Christie’s mysteries, and one that is deliciously funny into the bargain.” 4/5 – The Irish Examiner
“This likable whodunnit comedy sees Sam Rockwell and Saoirse Ronan on the trail of high-camp crime in the original production of The Mousetrap.” 4/5 – The Guardian
