Namrata Joshi 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... Sep 24, 2024 Full Review 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. May 27, 2024 Full Review 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. May 24, 2024 Full Review Frank J. Avella The Contending ...this film is astonishingly bold, ambitious and daring— one of 2024’s most audacious pics...The gifted Reinsve does remarkable work here. It’s a performance that should be in the awards conversation. Rated: A Dec 19, 2024 Full Review Sebastian Zavala Kahn Cinencuentro An experience that invites the viewer to reflect—on the nature of truth, on the way we perceive people (both children and adults), and on how education at school complements that at home. Full review in Spanish. Rated: 3.5/5 Dec 7, 2024 Full Review Carmen Paddock Movies We Texted About Reinsve... continues to prove herself one of this generation’s singular talents and humanise characters caught in seemingly impossible conundrums. Likewise, Ullmann Tøndel demonstrates a remarkable confidence in framing and atmosphere Dec 5, 2024 Full Review Read all reviews
