Jessica Kiang Variety A breezy little sweetheart of a debut that threatens to give the rather ominous description "quirky French romantic comedy" a good name. May 27, 2019 Full Review Boyd van Hoeij Hollywood Reporter Audiences that like their films odd and engaging will eat this up. May 23, 2019 Full Review Gary M. Kramer Cinema76 The Bare Necessity does feature some gorgeous scenery and there are a few mildly amusing moments, but overall, this romance is more cute than it is impassioned. Aug 21, 2020 Full Review Nicholas Bell IONCINEMA.com Filled with strangeness and idiosyncrasy, Le Duc makes fine use of a notable cast for his first outing as director. Rated: 3/5 Aug 20, 2020 Full Review Roger Moore Movie Nation The ingredients are here for something silly and droll, a French Wes Anderson comedy or David O. Russell satire. Rated: 2/4 Aug 15, 2020 Full Review Shikhar Verma High on Films With odd characterizations, weird culty conflicts, and carefully constructed imagery, this is Wes Anderson in reverse. Rated: 3.5/5 Jul 16, 2020 Full Review Read all reviews
