Leslie Felperin Guardian The camera’s gaze isn’t pitiless but there isn’t a scrap of sentimentality – just an unflinching willingness to look at all of life straight on, without blinking. Rated: 4/5 Mar 5, 2024 Full Review Alison Willmore New York Magazine/Vulture There’s an expansive generosity to the film, and to the willingness of its subjects to allow these moments to be documented, that’s met with the same openness from Simon... Dec 9, 2023 Full Review Kat Sachs Chicago Reader The political is found firsthand to be personal, here through an assemblage of intimate vignettes, and thus it becomes all the more impactful when the director joins the ranks, a stand-in for our collective body. Sep 15, 2023 Full Review William Stottor Loud and Clear Reviews Claire Simon’s evocative documentary Our Body (Notre corps) is as dense and detailed as it is caring and thought-provoking. Rated: 4.5/5 Sep 3, 2024 Full Review Alex Heeney Seventh Row We stay in intimate spaces that are rarely spoken of in life, let alone documented on film, and become aware of all the critical life-changing events that happen when seeking medical care and how women, especially, are conditioned to keep these a secret. Mar 22, 2024 Full Review Alberto Richart Otroscines.com Simon tries to cover all possible spectrums to form, without resorting to sentimentality, an image of the science that's most connected to femininity and life.

Laura B More than any of his previous films, 'Our Body' feels like a hug. The camera looks for the body, always the body, because it is very hidden. The beauty of women, whether in joy or unbearable pain, is what drives the scene. Simon's intention is to film female bodies, discarding sexualization, but also the stigmatisation of shame, showing the transformations that occur and structuring it based on the stages of life. The result is a beautiful work of love and respect for the body, women and the will to live. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 12/07/23 Full Review StephenPaul C The greatest 02 hours: and 48 minutes ever!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
