Produced by Vanessa van Zuylen, the movie revolves around Eiffel as he finishes his collaboration on the Statue of Liberty and is pressured by the French government to design something spectacular for the 1889 Paris World Fair. Eiffel simply wants to design the subway, but everything changes when he crosses paths with a mysterious woman from his past (Emma Mackey). Their long lost, forbidden passion inspires him to build the iconic Eiffel Tower.

Critics Consensus

Neither towering failure nor towering achievement, Eiffel reduces a fascinating life to a mundane love story.

Director Martin Bourboulon is far too interested in dressing up history to suit his purposes to give a damn about the tower Gustave Eiffel devoted his life to.

Rated: 2/5

Empire Magazine

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.

FlixChatter Film Blog

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.

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.
