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.

Chicago Reader

Almost laughable in its broad, empty portrayal of sexual desire.

Washington Post

Moments of visual beauty only call attention to the stilted dialogue and maudlin plot that otherwise define the film.

Rated: 1/4

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.

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.

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

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

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.

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.
