Richard Brody The New Yorker The film's ambling tempo and spatial integrity are political as well as aesthetic, and the film's first closeup-near the end-is both a visual jolt and a moral one. Feb 9, 2015 Full Review Antoine de Baecque Cahiers du Cinéma What The Tree, the Mayor, and the Mediatheque teaches us is more than a study of political discourse. It is the art of telling stories, an art full of ifs. Jun 6, 2022 Full Review Armond White National Review Rohmer's mastery reveals characters speaking in the language of their times, then honestly confronting their own moral imperatives. The revelation is beautiful, beyond Hollywood's self-satisfied groupthink that passes for thoughtfulness. Feb 11, 2021 Full Review Read all reviews
