Kenneth Turan Los Angeles Times Being Jewish in France makes exceptionally good use of vintage photographs and film clips in telling its story, and in fact won an award for best utilization of archival footage. It also boasts an especially varied and articulate group of talking heads. Rated: 4/5 Aug 7, 2009 Full Review Ronnie Scheib Variety Ambitious three-hour-plus documentary. May 14, 2009 Full Review Neil Genzlinger New York Times Yves Jeuland's documentary Being Jewish in France is more than three hours long, and its emotional peak comes relatively early. Rated: 3/5 May 13, 2009 Full Review Peter Keough Boston Phoenix Jeuland's history is at times scattered, but always compelling. Rated: 3/4 Mar 14, 2012 Full Review Read all reviews

Audience Member Overlong at three hours, this film is an exhaustive history of France's relations w/ Jews since the Dreyfus affair in the 1890s. Some of the events were new to me and it's a thoroughly shocking chronicle. The film includes the current rise of anti-Semitism and has superlative testimony of witnesses and fascinating archival film. I saw it at the Film Society of Lincoln Center, March 19, 2009. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/07/23 Full Review Read all reviews
