While visually impressive, Jean-Jacques Annaud's recreation of the 2019 blaze is an unnecessary reminder of the catastrophe.

Rated: 2/5

Kermode and Mayo's Take (YouTube)

It is a disaster movie in which lives are not imperiled, but relics are, and it cranks that up for all it's worth.

Times (UK)

[The second half of the film is] technically impressive, but embellished with generic “noble” music and a few mawkish appeals to religious sentiment.

Rated: 3/5

Fiction Machine

It is historical tragedy and nail-biting cinema blended together. It is one of the best films that Annaud has ever directed.

Rated: 8/10

The Straits Times (Singapore)

The director’s appreciation for gothic architecture, and his spatial clarity as rescuers wend their way along spiral stairs 50cm narrow, add greatly to the narrative urgency. But his docu-drama remains an uneasy mix.

Rated: 3/5

While it is exciting to see the plot excalate as the fire spreads, the pacing is all over the place and the climax makes no sense, in how they put out the fire in the bell tower, and then suddenly the whole fire is gone. The best thing about the whole movie honestly, was this little girl who lights a candle just as the church is evacuated, and how the final shot of the movie is that the candle is still there. Hinting that she wished for the church to survive. I love it when things come full circle.

Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars

Sobre filmes que retratam tragédias ou desastres. Filmes baseados em eventos reais, como o incêndio na Catedral de Notre-Dame, podem abordar questões importantes e oferecer perspectivas interessantes sobre o impacto humano, a resiliência e a reconstrução diante de tragédias.

Notre-Dame Brûle est frappant et se dire que c'est vraiment arrivé rend le film encore plus prenant. Ce film m'a tenu en haleine malgré le fait que je connaisse la fin de l'histoire. De plus, on y découvre de nombreux évènements qui sont arrivés et que tout le monde ne connaissait pas. Les plans de caméra et le fait de passer d'une caméra professionnelle à une caméra d'un téléphone nous plonge encore plus dans l'histoire. En effet, le film réussi bien à jongler avec les photos et vidéos filmés par des civils qui voyait la scène. En un mot : impressionnant.

Notre-Dame in Flammen (Originaltitel: Notre-Dame brûle) ist ein Filmdrama von Jean-Jacques Annaud (Regie) und Thomas Bidegain (Drehbuch)... Der Film stellt dokumentarisch den Brand von Notre-Dame in Paris am 15. April 2019 nach… Der Dokumentarfilm ist und übernimmt ein Loblied zu dem Ehren der Kathedrale Notre-Dame, und einen Dank für die Pariser Feuerwehr. Ein Lob an Jean-Jacques Annaud und Thomas Bidegain für diesen Film und für Simon Franglen für die Musik… Absolut sehenswert
