I liked it, it had a good story lines. Although some parts I found to be confusing, and that said some parts weren't explained as well.

Very good movie. Considering that a lot of the story line had to do with the engineering feats of Gustave Eiffel - it was really entertaining and you felt yourself cheering for his success. Especially if you've ever had the please of traveling to Paris to see the Eiffel Tower in person. The acting by the two lead charaters, Gustave and Adrienne, was top notch.

Despite some lovely cinematography and interesting insights into what makes the Parisian landmark so special, Eiffel is a forgettable forbidden love affair.

Observer (UK)

Together, Duris and Mackey have a corset-twanging chemistry. But the foregrounding of a fictional romance over a feat of engineering does feel like a missed opportunity.

Rated: 3/5

There’s nothing small or esoteric about the film. It’s a sumptuous widescreen epic...

Fascinating historical drama botched by messy editing, but Romain Duris & Emma Mackey's feverish chemistry elevates the forbidden romance.

Common Sense Media

The film is at its best when it reveals the incredible feats of engineering behind Paris' iron giant. Impressive for getting these ideas across in a compelling way, the movie's enthusiasm for Eiffel's engineering skills shines through.

Rated: 3/5

Eiffel is beautifully shot with captivating, mesmerising shots across Paris capturing the sensations that the script fails to enunciate.
