      Laura Kern Film Comment Magazine Mademoiselle Chambon may be a small film about inconsequential people, but the situations and emotions it stirs up are universally profound Nov 13, 2013 Full Review Derek Malcolm London Evening Standard An impossible romance that is expressed delicately and without recourse to more than mild erotica. Rated: 3/5 Sep 23, 2011 Full Review Xan Brooks Guardian Slow your pace and pause for breath and there's a world of pleasure to be had from this unhurried small-town tragedy. Rated: 4/5 Sep 22, 2011 Full Review Rene Jordan El Nuevo Herald (Miami) Evasive and reticent. [Full review in Spanish] Jul 18, 2022 Full Review Jana Monji Age of the Geek This is a pensive French film about family and love and possible infidelity, doesn't rush to passion or indulge in Hollywood glamour, but proceeds at a leisurely pace, filled with looks and long silences. Rated: 3/5 Aug 14, 2021 Full Review Mattie Lucas From the Front Row Brizé's direction is so confident and the performances so assured, it could almost have been a silent film. Rated: 3/4 Aug 5, 2019 Full Review Read all reviews

      Audience Member It's basically Brief Encounter meets Un Coeur en Hiver, and the reason I learned French. A mesmerising star-crossed lovers story where everyone is grown up enough to do the right thing, however hard. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/27/23 Full Review Audience Member Realistic, minimalistic romance that is both subtle and multilayered at the same time... Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/26/23 Full Review Audience Member Muy interesante historia sobre el amor y la pasión. Super recomendable. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 01/13/23 Full Review Audience Member The marriage affair movie is usually too aggressive. This film actually builds the time slowly between the two, to make the romance seem more from the heart and less like a fool's pursuit. The stakes aren't any less low, and with that the story's handled exquisitely. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/22/23 Full Review Audience Member A carpenter resists having an affair with his son's schoolteacher. Mademoiselle Chambon features strong performances by Sandrine Kiberlain and Vincent Lindon as the two lead characters. Their characters are built on silence and subtle looks that make them fun to watch. The film's plot is meandering, taking far too long to get from point A to point B with few complications in between. It's slow, but it's slow in a way that I've grown accustomed to in modern French cinema. What is more, I'm not sure what the film is saying. Is it merely privileging a content marriage with a passionate affair? If so, such an aphorism has been said often and with greater effect. Overall, Mademoiselle Chambon has strong performances, but the story is lacking in clarity and dimension. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 02/26/23 Full Review Audience Member A simple story about love and life, which don't necessarily go very well together.Vincent Lindon is playing almost the same character in all his movies and he is playing it well. And who would not fall in love with Sandrine Kiberlain? Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/08/23 Full Review Read all reviews Post a rating
