Steve Pond TheWrap “Wild Diamonds” is a character study both of Liane and of the culture that has spawned her, and a film that manages to be both empathetic and unforgiving. Aug 8, 2024 Full Review Justin Chang New Yorker The movie glancingly suggests the soul-rotting effects of beauty worship, but it falls victim to the trap that Liane is trying to avoid: in a sea of worthy candidates, it doesn’t especially stand out. May 30, 2024 Full Review Shubhra Gupta The Indian Express Khebizi’s performance– she is in practically every frame– is terrific. Even when the film begins meandering, with a putative romance which doesn’t come off well, you can’t take your eyes off Liane... May 17, 2024 Full Review Zhuo-Ning Su Awards Daily It’s a hard-hitting, hot-blooded social drama/character study that shows promise of a new, fiercely assured cinematic voice, even if the story it tells isn’t breaking any ground. Jun 12, 2024 Full Review Dennis Schwartz Dennis Schwartz Movie Reviews Malou Khebizi aces her role. Rated: B- Jun 3, 2024 Full Review Wilson Kwong Film Inquiry Despite traversing familiar territory, Agathe Riedinger still manages to impress with her feature directorial debut.
