Variety
Eva begins as hot buttered nonsense of the least resistible variety before, echoing the writer’s block that propels its daft narrative, it runs drily out of ideas. - 42
IndieWire
For a film with so few secrets of its own to hide, Eva also offers little to see on the surface. - 42
The Film Stage
Benoit Jacquot’s preposterous erotic thriller is rarely erotic and never thrills. - 40
The Hollywood Reporter
Jacquot has a hard time turning all of this into palpable drama, and Eva slides off the rails during a denouement that goes full on B-movie without much credibility. - 40
Screen Daily
Jacquot at his best is a master at teasing us with tantalising narrative mazes and false threads, but here we soon find ourselves losing interest in the riddle of where things are headed: the film takes what feels like a very circuitous route to a dead end.
