IndieWire
In a incredibly contained performance that ranks among the best of her career, Juliette Binoche portrays a woman trapped by mental and physical constraints alike. - 80
Variety
A measured, moving account of a brief period in the later life of the troubled sculptress, could hardly be the work of anyone else, with its sparseness of technique and persistent spiritual curiosity. - 80
The Dissolve
It seems like a departure, but soon turns into a Bruno Dumont film—and one of his most rigorous and powerful at that. - 80
Time Out
Exploitative as this may seem in theory, it works beautifully onscreen, mostly because of Binoche’s radiantly complicated humanity. - 70
The Hollywood Reporter
Juliette Binoche’s portrayal of the ill-fated artist is a study of restraint peppered with brief outbursts of emotion -- a riveting performance in an imposing, at times off-putting micro-biopic. - 70
Village Voice
One of the year's thorniest releases. - 70
The New York Times
Ms. Binoche’s portrayal of Camille is one of the most wrenching performances she has given. - 58
The Playlist
The film makes distant what surely should be vital and alive.
