Synopsis
The story of two sisters on a journey, where they try to get close to each other and approach the tough questions in life. Euphoria is a contemporary drama about responsibility and reconciliation, in a world where these concepts are gradually being lost.

Screen Daily
Ines and Emilie have tensions between them which are uncomfortably alive, and Langseth’s script is a gnawing reminder that, even when the date of death is set, family quarrels and resentments can still be corrosive. - 50
The Playlist
For a film that literally isolates its characters from the rest of the world to confront each other head-on, the drama plays more conventional than challenging. - 42
The A.V. Club
The film exhibits almost nothing that resembles recognizable human behavior. - 42
The Film Stage
Euphoria is undeniably a missed opportunity at creating a drama of frayed sisterhood that feels fresh and unique. The film is also too restrained and unambitious to make a grand statement on mortality. - 40
The Hollywood Reporter
Equal parts solemn and sappy, Euphoria marks a well-performed if extremely heavy-handed foray into English-language filmmaking for Swedish director Lisa Langseth. - 40
Los Angeles Times
Alicia Vikander, Eva Green and Charlotte Rampling pump some energy into writer-director Lisa Langseth’s overly static, chatty drama, but are let down by a movie that keeps promising — and failing — to blossom into something more. - 38

Euphoria struggles to be little more than a hum-drum meditation on kicking the bucket. - 30
Variety
The catharsis feels fake and unearned. Moreover, the film lacks the warmth and respect for all of of its characters displayed in Langseth’s previous work.
