The Hollywood Reporter

Chew-Bose makes the daring choice to extend the story beyond the novel and it gives her one of the film’s best episodes, chilling in its revelation of the emotional fallout of Cecile’s actions.

It’s a bold project for a first-time feature film, and I applaud writer-director Durga Chew-Bose for the attempt, even if I find the execution a bit lacking.

While remakes can feel, by their very nature, like the worst kind of retread, Chew-Bose’s directorial debut is a sharp offering that adds to the mystique of the original material and makes a strong case for its own existence.

Rated: B

Cineuropa

The film’s two hours float by like a boat on the Riviera waters – languorous with a delicious sprinkling of lingering disquietude. Oh, such beautiful, privileged indolence: j’ai la flemme.

Exclaim!

For a film with such a powerful emotional undercurrent, it stays incredibly quiet for most of its runtime.

Rated: 7/10
