The Pink Lens

Without a sympathetic centre to make you will for their success, the pulse of this Netflix piece never really gets above resting-rate.

Rated: 3/5

Ready Steady Cut

A Netflix original comedy-drama, To Each, Her Own is about a Jewish woman in Paris, dealing with relationships and prejudices; her own, and other people's.

Rated: 3.5/5

Common Sense Media

Overloaded farce about sexual orientation; language, sex.

The Daily Dot

By trying to speak to so many ideas, the movie ends up saying very little.

The comedy isn't all that funny and the romance isn't all that romantic. An admirable swing, but a miss.

Movie Nation

A quaint collection of sexual, racial and cultural stereotypes and cliches packaged as a forward-thinking French romantic comedy.

Best and funniest film we've seen for ages. Ignore the silly low score and watch it.

Is there a simplistic, insulting stereotype this film doesn't exploit? Let's see. We've got offensive depictions of Jews, lesbians, gay men, African immigrants, and Muslims... So unless you're a bigot with who enjoys truly stupid dialog and stories utterly lacking in credibility, three-dimensional characters, satisfying plot, or dramatic resonance, perhaps you'd be better off avoiding this one.

This movie was poorly dubbed in English and the story was not one ounce believable...plus they paraded out the usual racial tropes.

This film was downright offensive to so many groups under the guise of comedy. The characters were insultingly cliche (Jewish, Muslim, Senegalese, LGBT, humans). This is one to skip (unless you are studying what NOT to do when trying to make an intersectional film). Warning: SPOILERS AHEAD! SPOILERS: an unreliable, dishonest, bisexual protagonist manages to find her "happily ever after" in a throuple (without ever discussing this arrangement with the man and the woman involved), leaving her conservative father (who has fainted and may have heart trouble) writhing on the floor at her brother's wedding at the end of the film. Somehow, this is supposed to be a happy ending? Among other problems... Senegalese Muslims are portrayed as antisemites who need mirco-loans; male-male sex is ridiculed--likened to birds cooing and strutting around each other; there are some-my-Mom-brought-up-the-Holocaust-again moments that are supposed to be funny; and there is an odd scene where the Jewish bisexual protagonist entices her male Senegalese Muslim paramour to eat a bite of sausage. That is really just the tip of this iceberg for this disaster of a film. It is chock-full of cringeworthy moments.

HORRIBLE Movie. An insult to all LGBT people. And stereotypical that LGBT aren't monogamous. HORRIBLE movie.

I really enjoyed this movie, It was stereotypical in some aspects but I loved watching the forbidden romances take place. I loved the lead characters too and was hoping Simone would end up with Wali :-)
