What to Know

Critics Consensus

From the Land of the Moon benefits from striking visuals and strong work from Marion Cotillard, but they're both ultimately overcome by a story that drifts into wan melodrama.

Leah Pickett Chicago Reader Almost laughable in its broad, empty portrayal of sexual desire. Aug 17, 2017 Full Review Alan Zilberman Washington Post Moments of visual beauty only call attention to the stilted dialogue and maudlin plot that otherwise define the film. Rated: 1/4 Aug 3, 2017 Full Review Sheri Linden Los Angeles Times Garcia never gets a grasp on her protagonist's contradictions, or those of her story - certainly not enough to pull off the movie's jaw-dropper of a twist. Aug 2, 2017 Full Review Marya E. Gates Cool People Have Feelings, Too. (Substack) It’s melodramatic to the hilt, but it pulled me in and made me sob like a baby by the end. Feb 12, 2024 Full Review Jorge Ignacio Castillo Planet S Magazine From the Land of the Moon is not without merit -Cotillard's expressive face is compulsively watchable- but be prepared for some significant suspension of disbelief. Rated: 2.5/5 Feb 5, 2020 Full Review Nicholas Bell IONCINEMA.com Cotillard's emotional energy is wasted in Garcia's capably directed romantic drama, which is visually polished by Christophe Beaucarne, though his glossy frames actually create an accidental desolation in the film's jagged void of unlikely drama. Rated: 1/5 Oct 10, 2019 Full Review Read all reviews

Audience Member The drama & romance film potrays Gabrielle who is not in the best stable condition. I wish that the end was different but it is what it is. As always i admired Marion Cotillard's acting. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/14/23 Full Review Audience Member guilty of loving this film... and all the characters therein. ah !... and what a twist in the finale. captured from start to finish. dare i say it... i could watch it again. Typical French movie. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/23/23 Full Review Audience Member This film is a brilliant exploration of the fragility of the human mind and the redemptive power of patient love. Based on the negative reviews here, it appears that many have experienced it on a very superficial level (i.e., the sex is not the focus despite its explicit portrayal). Those who take issue with the plot twist at the end must believe that intense self-delusion is not possible. This will come as quite a shock to those who have spent their lives studying multiple personality disorder. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/27/23 Full Review Audience Member marion give beautiful performance,and movie is beautiful Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/10/23 Full Review Audience Member I actually love this film very much, the ending is quite shocking, but also make it real and great. The power of imagination and conflict to reality, I think only women can really understanding it.... Great performance by Marion and Beautiful music "June" Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 02/01/23 Full Review Audience Member Exquisite. Absolutely loved every minute.
