Variety
Offers diverting date-night fare for open-minded heterosexual couples and swingers, though its superiority (artistic or otherwise) to actual porn is debatable. - 42
The A.V. Club
It's a celebration of libertine sexuality - nothing more, nothing less - and almost remarkably untroubled by any of the dramatic issues it raises. Much of its 79 minutes is spent marveling over how skillfully the actors simulate the real thing. - 42
IndieWire
A barrage of screwing with interludes does not yield a cohesive movie. Watching Sexual Chronicles of a French Family, the one-note idea grows increasingly evident, as does its absence of fresh ideas. - 40
The New York Times
It's dull filmmaking. - 0
Slant Magazine
Its scope is too limited for it to muster much of a response in us beyond basic titillation. And there are plenty of better places to go for that.
