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 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 Diego Batlle Otroscines.com This thriller, with a clear Hitchcockian spirit, flows with the elegance, fascination, and precision of the best examples of the genre. [Full review in Spanish] Rated: 3.5/5 May 27, 2025 Full Review Dan Bayer Next Best Picture Without Foster, “A Private Life” wouldn’t have all that much to it. It’s compelling enough to be worth a watch with her, but you may have trouble remembering most of it the next day. Rated: 6/10 May 22, 2025 Full Review Read all reviews
