An Eye for Beauty feels like it was written by an alien who learned about human behavior from soap operas. Go to Full Review
Michael Rechtshaffen Los Angeles Times 04/22/2016
An insistently distancing if aesthetically pleasing Canadian production. Go to Full Review
Stephen Holden New York Times 04/14/2016
The message that "An Eye for Beauty" wants to send is that gorgeous people suffer just like the rest of us. But it is so enamored of them that the message gets lost en route to the screen. Go to Full Review
Angelo Muredda Cinema Scope 11/14/2017
Unable to muster much in the way of tension, thanks to that napkin doodle of a plot and a pair of sublimely wooden lead performances, Arcand shoots for the moral complexity of Éric Rohmer and ends up with lesser Gabriele Muccino. Go to Full Review

david f 11/15/2020 I wanted to watch this cause it's set in Canada and looked interesting. It's not the greatest movie but it's weird mixture of architects' lifestyles and romantic entanglements in Quebec and Toronto was entertaining. See more @BlackCloud13 07/03/2018 Dull and banal with little point. A shallow and fruitless tale of infidelity. See more 11/28/2017 Found it to be a bit pointless, but somewhat enjoyable. I don’t regret watching it, but I most definitely won’t watch it again. See more 11/10/2014 A quasi-TV series, quiet but sloppy piece. See more 10/14/2014 Denys Arcand's new film doesn't have any semblance to the director's previous work: it's neither funny nor is it a biting commentary on some part of society. I'm not sure what it is but aside from the beautiful architecture, this feels like a confused student work rather than a new film from a master of Arcand's calibre. See more 06/10/2014 Not a bad movie but way too cliché. Bit too long like all Denis Arcand's work. See more Read all reviews
