4/5
There's no denying that this is a single-note film, but it's a note of considerable emotional clout. Go to Full Review Wendy Ide The Times (UK) 09/18/2009
2/5
Not quite a documentary, nor yet entirely fiction, Je Veux Voir is an awkward blend. But it's not nearly as awkward as Catherine Deneuve in the central role. Go to Full Review Peter Bradshaw Guardian 09/18/2009

11/02/2014 Deneuve took you to Beirut, Lebanon. See more 05/25/2011 A wobbly cinema và (C)rità (C) romp through south Lebanon with an awkward Catherine Deneuve. She has her characteristic bored & puzzled expression throughout the whole trip. She doesn't say much aside from commenting on the lack of seatbelt legislation in Lebanon. What's the point? See more 01/13/2011 the film tries to get somewhere and doesn't ever reach Or its way too arty for me to get ! See more 01/29/2010 Excellent story of the everyday life in Beirut and its whereabouts. Watch for the amazing Lebanon country sightseeings. Deneuve is perfect, as usual. See more 02/18/2009 vu au Cratere le dimanche 15 fevrier 2009 vers 19h See more 12/28/2008 idee interessante, contexte a priori porteur, acteurs excellents mais film un peu trop contemplatif malheureusement... bref une tres bonne idee pas completement poussee a son maximum...
