The richest woman in the world: her beauty, her intelligence, her power. A photographer: his ambition, his audacity, his madness. A love at first sight that sweeps them away. A mistrustful heiress fighting to be loved. A watchful butler who knows more than he lets on. Family secrets. Astronomical donations. A war where anything goes.

Jessica Kiang Variety [The Richest Woman in the World] feels simultaneously beneath Huppert and entirely built around her. What pleasures it yields stem exclusively from watching the actress swan around without breaking a sweat in a role tailored to her specifications. May 20, 2025 Full Review Tim Grierson Screen International Despite some dark jokes about the gilded cage of the rich, the film lacks the killer instinct to make this battle for power deliciously devious -- or, conversely, surprisingly sympathetic and nuanced. May 19, 2025 Full Review Àngel Quintana Caimán Cuadernos de Cine Huppert acts as a cold, all-powerful lady in a world of luxury and excess, while Laurent Lafitte plays a character who is all about excess and whose true intentions are never fully understood. [Full review in Spanish] Jun 3, 2025 Full Review Ali Benzekri Next Best Picture The film doesn’t dive too deep into the complexities of power or manipulation, but it offers a playful, well-acted look at a bizarre real-life dynamic. Rated: 7/10 May 24, 2025 Full Review Elena Lazic The Playlist Klifa’s film — rather blandly directed and with a few awkward cuts, but full of carefully judged performances — nonetheless deploys a satisfyingly intricate view of the mechanisms of manipulation, showing just how far those controlling tentacles can go. Rated: C+ May 19, 2025 Full Review Nicholas Bell IONCINEMA.com Fun, but not nearly as devious as it could have been, The Richest Woman in the World is an odd curiosity piece, but worth the price of admission alone to see Huppert, a bored, worldly vampire allowing herself to be drained by a desperate sycophant. Rated: 2.5/5 May 19, 2025 Full Review Read all reviews
