David Ansen Newsweek Mar 7, 2023
Dominated by Isabelle Huppert's magnificent performance, The Lacemaker is like "The Story of Adèle H." seen through the other end of the telescope. It may lack Truffaut's broad scale, but it has a deeper ring of truth. Go to Full Review Roger Ebert Chicago Sun-Times Jun 15, 2018

The movie's performances are wonderfully subtle. Go to Full Review E. Katherine Mederos Sojourner Aug 14, 2019
Isabelle Huppert is lovely. The diversity of emotions in her expression is wonderful to watch. Go to Full Review Jesús Fernández Santos El Pais (Spain) Jul 30, 2019
Pomme seems too introverted, her friends too intellectual and ridiculous, and François himself is poorly defined. They all form a schematic ensemble that neither the script nor the director wanted to delve into. [Full Review in Spanish] Go to Full Review Cole Smithey ColeSmithey.com Nov 28, 2008

Jul 15, 2016 I hated this movie. It is so unbearably slow that you will want to kill yourself. Pretentious to the point of absurdity. See more Oct 29, 2011 The young Isabelle plays Pomme, who has become an iconic character over the years. The book is just as tragic. See more Aug 15, 2011 Beautiful movie, but very sad. And what's up with all the skinny people, don't they eat in France?! See more Aug 15, 2011 Magiskt fantastiska Isabelle Huppert! Klassiker jag ej sett förrän nu. Lågmält klass-/relationsdrama med undertoner av krypande obehag. See more Dec 24, 2010 Somewhat dated - Huppert before she became a saint and Goretta deserved a statue See more Ricardo G @Ricardogm Apr 26, 2010 Delicado e terno como Isabelle Huppert. Um filme triste. See more Read all reviews
