David Rooney The Hollywood Reporter It’s a pleasure to watch Foster loosen up and have fun with a role, getting to exercise comedy chops too seldom tapped in her American projects of recent decades. May 23, 2025 Full Review Ben Kenigsberg RogerEbert.com The tone is uncertain and at times just plain off. May 22, 2025 Full Review Sophie Monks Kaufman Little White Lies Foster finds small moments to bring to life and Auteuil is afforded some charming moments, however the rest of the cast is frittered away in a forgettable flick that is much more filler than killer. May 21, 2025 Full Review Harris Dang Impulse Gamer A Private Life is immensely entertaining fun. It blends murder mystery, romantic comedy, and character study tropes into an appealingly frisky light-hearted ride. It is also anchored by the wonderful Jodie Foster who is at her charismatic best. Rated: 4/5 Jun 9, 2025 Full Review Àngel Quintana Caimán Cuadernos de Cine Zlotowski focuses the entire film on the gaze and gestures of an excellent Jodie Foster, who finds herself surrounded by the top-tier acting talents of French cinema. [Full review in Spanish] Jun 3, 2025 Full Review Joonatan Itkonen Toisto.net Jodie Foster is magnetic in A Private Life, the new film from Rebecca Zlotowski. It's just a shame everything around her is a boring, unfocused mess. Rated: 2/5 May 28, 2025 Full Review Read all reviews
