I can't say I found the film boring, not for one moment. Go to Full Review
A.H. Weiler New York Times 03/31/2020
As a study of a young wife's amours in high and low Bangkok society, Emmanuelle is a fluffy consignment of romantic, slick, soft‐core, sexual simulations that is largely uninspired and hardly a revelation to enthusiasts long exposed to the genre. Go to Full Review

2/5
It's artfully shot by director Just Jaeckin, the Thailand locations are occasionally stunning and Kristel disrobes with some elegance. However, acting is far from her strong suit, and the dialogue and story are pretty banal. Go to Full Review

Ed . Aug 29 Getting lucky. I've been looking for love in all the wrong places... This film tried too hard to be cool with the sexual freedom thing. See more Brent A 09/20/2023 10% rating ... Garbage movie. Don't waste your time. See more david f 01/29/2022 I found this kind of dumb, I'm not sure what all the fuss was about. See more 06/10/2020 Softcore, soft lighting, sophomoric philosophizing—but what else do you expect from a movie directed by a guy with the name "Just Jaeckin" (and I doubt he was the only one). See more 03/07/2020 This movie is part of my happy childhood memories See more 12/09/2014 I remember seeing this as 'top billing' on Bournemouth Westover Road's cinema strip in 1974. It wasn't until almost 40 years later I managed to see the un-cut version from Russia. And I couldn't believe how much had been 'cut out'. No wonder I thought the original was 'tame' !
