Sight & Sound

Angel Face manages to frame an unstable relationship in a way that allows each suffering party to face their own vices, instead of only showing their mutual combustion.

If you're going to shoot 80 percent of a film in extreme close-up, strictly training the camera on an actor's face at the expense of everything around her, you better make damn well sure you give us an interesting character to consider.

Rated: C-

Cine Premiere

Angel Face is a pungent, realistic drama, portrayed with a claustrophobic camera and a constant use of the close-up, which results in a promising debut. [Full Review in Spanish]

Rated: 4/5

Cinegarage

The characters are never as interesting as they could be and considering that the film tells its story mostly via close ups, it winds up being disappointing. [Full Review in Spanish]

A heartbreaking and beautifully told story, which makes you bleed for abandoned daughter and irreverent mother alike. Marion Cotillard plays the role as trashy addict Marlène so convincingly that she is almost recognizable.

Rated 5 out of 5 stars
