Typical Frenchie indulgence, vague & wilderness, alrightee for character study though.

Hollywood Reporter

Built four-square around Ariane Labed's engaging turn as eponymous sailor Alice, this feature debut from actress-turned-writer-director Lucie Borleteau strikes a delicate balance between the sensual and the matter-of-fact.

Easily the most fascinating film to come along and challenge traditional gender roles in the past year.

CineVue

Fidelio succeeds in presenting a strong, albeit emotionally wayward, female lead in an environment dominated entirely by men. Much the same can be said for a sure-footed directorial performance.

Rated: 3/5
