Edward Guthmann San Francisco Chronicle Deneuve elevates all with innate dignity and a surprisingly impassioned performance. Rated: 3/4 Jan 11, 2023 Full Review 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 Jan 1, 2000 Full Review 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. May 9, 2023 Full Review Malcolm Johnson Hartford Courant This film about the roots of anti-imperialist rebellion moves from the polite tedium of French society to a gripping, revolutionary force. May 29, 2018 Full Review Cole Smithey ColeSmithey.com Rated: 5/5 Dec 1, 2007 Full Review Emanuel Levy EmanuelLevy.Com A guilty pleasure, this French melodrama could have been called "Saigon, mon amour," a grand, sweeping and sprawling saga about a strong plantation owner (the beautiful Catherine Deneuve)--not unlike Vivien Leigh of Gone With the Wind. Rated: B- Dec 12, 2006 Full Review Read all reviews

Liam D The winner for best international film at the 1993 Academy Awards this is an epic drama with an great Oscar Nominated performance by Catherine Deneuve (The Musketeer, The Hunger) Rated 4 out of 5 stars 08/18/24 Full Review Peter V Compelling, heart wrenching, rivetting, glorious, breath taking, spectacular and immersive. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 10/21/23 Full Review Audience Member Epic in scope and intention but ultimately incompletely melodramatic which is forgiven due to a luminous Deneuve Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/30/23 Full Review steve d For me it really dragged. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 03/30/23 Full Review Audience Member 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. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/28/23 Full Review Audience Member Can't believe it took me so long to watch this..... Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 01/17/23 Full Review Read all reviews
