Danny Leigh

Financial Times

Ambiguity reigns in this boldly unnerving portrait of a young woman herself painted by prosecutors as a touch too dispassionate.

Rated: 4/5

Linda Marric

The Jewish Chronicle

Although The Girl With A Bracelet at times feels more like a made for TV production, one can't help but admire Demoustier's handling of this admittedly thorny subject.

Rated: 4/5

Observer (UK)

Demoustier has cooled down some of the more overheated melodrama of the original.

Cinemanía (Spain)

The suspense is not so much in finding out if Lise stabbed her friend - a mystery that the new actress Melissa Guers maintains with its disturbing ambiguity - but in... the secret life that's being revealed on the stand. [Full review in Spanish]

Rated: 3/5

Slow, boring and without a solution.

Well made, but if you want a movie that leaves you unsatisfied because they forgot to provide an ending to the story, waste your time on this movie.

Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars

Really great movie, very good writing and acting. Just a note that this is absolutely not a comedy at all and the category needs to change. Drama for sure but not a comedy.

Audience Member

Confirm your middle class credentials by watching La Fille au Bracelet and dropping it into conversation at whatever interminable socially distanced barbecue you have to goto. Console yourself that it's not just your kids living in some sort of post-Skins nihilism, it's the sophisticated French too - they have no idea what they are upto either. Wallow in the claustrophobia of an excellent courtroom drama and the performances of the superb cast. A great night in. Bon.
