Deneuve elevates all with innate dignity and a surprisingly impassioned performance.

Roger Ebert

Chicago Sun-Times

The beauty, the photography, the impact of the scenes shot on location in Vietnam, are all striking. But the people seem to drift and waver in their focus.

Rated: 2.5/4

Steve Warren

Southern Voice (Atlanta)

Old fashioned in the best sense, Indochine is an epic romance on a scale rarely attempted these days, more rarely with success.

Hartford Courant

This film about the roots of anti-imperialist rebellion moves from the polite tedium of French society to a gripping, revolutionary force.

Compelling, heart wrenching, rivetting, glorious, breath taking, spectacular and immersive.

Epic in scope and intention but ultimately incompletely melodramatic which is forgiven due to a luminous Deneuve

An archetypal epic with grand sweeping ambition. Some lovely scenery, decent acting and a big plot played out across a generation. Lots to enjoy here but it doesn't quite tie everything together and you never feel particularly sympathetic to any of the characters.
