In search of a lost pleasure, Emmanuelle flies alone to Hong Kong and meets a man who constantly eludes her.

Critics Consensus

Bitterly disappointing given the talent involved, this modern take on Emmanuelle is an erotic odyssey with no sizzle.

Danny Leigh

Financial Times

To audiences mature enough to remember the 1970s franchise just this side of soft-core porn, the project will feel like a big-screen prawn cocktail: a cultural relic reimagined. Everyone else may simply be puzzled.

Rated: 3/5

That a filmmaker who previously displayed such a deep understanding of the pleasures and burdens of the female body is behind this tepid exercise in desire is a great shock — and an even bigger shame.

This is unadulterated torture.

…even by the low, low standards of the brand-name, this rebooted Emmanuelle just isn’t tender or perverse enough to be worth your attention…

Rated: 2/5

Terry Staunton

Radio Times

This is an erotic voyage that quickly runs aground, hamstrung by a pedestrian narrative and a mannered, overly stylised visual palette that resembles a TV perfume commercial.

Rated: 2/5

Scotsman

Diwan hasn’t quite managed to transcend the clunky dialogue and ropey performances that have given the original some enduring camp appeal.

Rated: 2/5

Haven't seen a movie so empty, void, and nothing as far as I can remember. Wonder where that 18% approval rate comes from and how this project got financed in the first place.

Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars
