Jeannette Catsoulis New York Times Telling us virtually nothing about Neige beyond her fixation, "DNA" struggles to engage. Dec 26, 2020 Full Review Guy Lodge Variety If you feel something, and you well might, that's because Maïwenn's filmmaking is brashly skilled at telling you what to feel. Sep 22, 2020 Full Review Jordan Mintzer Hollywood Reporter Unique and unruly. Sep 15, 2020 Full Review M.N. Miller Ready Steady Cut DNA has a relaxed, contemplative style that is honest and at times, moving. If anything, it is certainly a singular Maïwenn film experience. Rated: 3.5/5 Sep 9, 2022 Full Review Rich Cline Shadows on the Wall This documentary-style French drama takes a loose, meditative approach to personal identity through the eyes of actor-filmmaker Maiwenn. Rated: 4/5 Jan 8, 2021 Full Review John Serba Decider There's enough distinguished and thoughtful drama in DNA to recommend it despite its shortcomings. Dec 28, 2020 Full Review Read all reviews
