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

Robbie Collin

Daily Telegraph (UK)

You might imagine this libido gap would provide ample fuel for a juicy (and raunchy) character study. But the film features oddly little psychological grappling – and of the physical sort, even less.

Rated: 2/5

Hollywood Reporter

If it’s lucky, Emmanuelle might find an afterlife as a kind of Showgirls for its generation, a great-bad movie that’s undeniably craptacular yet strangely endearing, a shameful pleasure in every sense.

Variety

Saying something freshly substantive about female desire while honoring the film’s defining spirit of vapid, diaphanous horniness is a tricky, potentially unworkable brief; Audrey Diwan‘s inert, frequently frigid new film opts to do neither.

A film that is ultimately much more ambiguous than its director probably wants.

If simple, this parable is well-made and illustrated by a supporting cast that is purely a crutch for a sexually edifying handbook. [Full review in Spanish]

While Diwan's mise en scène is at times virtuous in its framing, camera movements, design, and lighting, beyond its hedonism or some more or less explicit homage to Wong Kar-wai, Emmanuelle is inconsequential, banal, tasteless. [Full review in Spanish]
