The New Indian Express

Armand begins on an intriguing note but can’t sustain it for long. It piques interest but isn’t satisfying enough. The twists and turns of the plot feel showy and contrived rather than organic...

Isaac Feldberg

RogerEbert.com

In a film playing with thriller and melodrama conventions before tipping over into expressive surrealism, hers is a fiercely visceral presence; Reinsve performs as if dancing on the edge of a knife.

Leslie Felperin

The Hollywood Reporter

Armand gets much weirder as it goes on, with choreographed dance sequences and melodramatic revelations that feel contrived and tacked on to make the film more arthouse and less issues-driven-middlebrow.

But Why Tho? A Geek Community

Reinsve soars per usual through long, drawn-out emotional battles and dream dance sequences. However... the movie tries to empathize with [horrendous] behavior—a fatal mistake.

Jo-Ann Titmarsh

HeyUGuys

A compelling and confident film of secrets, class and perspective. Armand is directed with an assured hand, and is given great elevation from its ensemble led by the incredible Renate Reinsve.

Rated: 4/5

Aidan Kelley

Collider

While Tøndel's methods for bringing this story to life are a bit overly perplexing and too head-scratching, there is a clear talent for filmmaking on display here that makes his career one to watch with great and serious interest.

Rated: 8/10
