As for Binoche, her performance as Rebecca is a standout even in a year that included winning turns in films from Fred Schepisi and Olivier Assayas.

| Original Score: 3.5/5 | Sep 6, 2019

... although at times the story seemed unsurprising, the end really packs a punch. There are lots of layers to unfold here, both personal and political.

| Mar 2, 2019

Despite Binoche's mighty efforts, 1,000 Times Good Night never recovers from its self-congratulatory ambitions and mechanical plotting. It's the movie that winds up shell-shocked.

The geopolitical realities of 2015 entitle us to expect something more nuanced than this.

| Original Score: 2.5/5 | Apr 26, 2016

Shot with a gorgeous eye, the filmmakers aren't afraid of lens flare or overexposure to add an ethereal beauty to horrific circumstances of which we're bracing for impact.

| Original Score: B | Feb 26, 2016

Binoche is impressive, bringing a steely, self-contained detachment to even the most intimate moments with her family. But Erik Poppe, the director, slathers the film in overly sentimental music choices

| Original Score: 2/5 | Aug 7, 2015

Alas, following on from such a striking and tense opening was always going to be difficult. The focus swiftly shifts to an account of disturbed domesticity, and so does the A Thousand Times Good Night's effectiveness and interest.

| Aug 7, 2015

If I'm complaining about this movie a lot for one I'm deeming better than fair, it's because I was frustrated by how its first-rate ingredients, Binoche chief among them, somehow failed to create a spectacular end result.

| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Aug 7, 2015

Anger and anguish visible in her eyes and etched in the lines of her face, Juliette Binoche delivers a terrific performance.

| Mar 22, 2015

It's a rich, fascinating and provocative film that never takes sides or opts for easy answers.

| Nov 26, 2014

Poppe registers Rebecca's moral commitment as well as the compulsive aspect of her dedication but the film oscillates between drama and statement; it becomes a series of set-pieces and what-ifs, particularly towards the end.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Nov 26, 2014

I wanted it to be more than it was.

When we see photos or film footage taken at great risk on the front line we rarely stop to think of the price paid by the photographer; this film rectifies that.

In a heart-wrenching performance, Juliette Binoche haunts as a war-photographer whose camera acts as her moral compass but blinds her to her family's needs

| Nov 23, 2014

This potent Norwegian drama by Erik Poppe, himself a veteran war photographer, opens with a gripping sequence.

| Nov 6, 2014

Moving story about mother/war photograher has mature themes.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Oct 31, 2014

As one would expect with of a film made by a photographer, 1,000 Times Good Night is always visually interesting.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Oct 31, 2014

The whole cast is good, but as always, all roads lead to Binoche, who is wonderful.

| Original Score: 4/4 | Oct 30, 2014

Despite a screenplay that lets her down for the most part, Binoche is wonderful as Rebecca, a woman divided by her passion for the job and maternal instincts.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Oct 28, 2014

Poppe can't match the stunning opener of Binoche photographing a suicide bomber in Kabul with scenes of domesticity. But Binoche never falters. She's the film's fire and grieving heart.
