A Faithful Man Reviews

I have all kinds of time for on-screen male pathology, but nothing about this movie is illuminating, plausible or funny; I emerged smoldering with ill-will.

This film might not reinvigorate romantic comedies entirely, but it shows that new avenues within this genre can still be taken.

| Sep 25, 2020

A Faithful Man gives its audience pause for thought as it comes to its final moments and feels more substantial than its short running time, but its mixture of dark comedy and underlying drama manages to keep a steady balance.

[A] piquant chamber comedy.

| Mar 11, 2020

A fresh and contemporary story about how feel love for others and for the self. [Full review in Spanish]

| Original Score: 4/5 | Feb 3, 2020

Carrière's script succeeds as it finds truth in both life's heaviest moments and its most absurd.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Oct 6, 2019

Love is a battlefield in Garrel's delightful and ironic romantic comedy. [Full review in Spanish]

| Original Score: 3/4 | Sep 16, 2019

Clocking in at 75 minutes, A Faithful Man nips along, efficiently assigning comic duties to [Lily-Rose] Depp and [Joseph] Engel and dramatic responsibility to Garrel and Casta.

| Original Score: 7.2/10 | Sep 11, 2019

A Faithful Man is made with heart. [Full Review in Spanish]

| Original Score: 7/10 | Sep 11, 2019

The film is about jealousy, all right, but also about the freedoms that each and every one of these characters have to do whatever they want, or that seems best according to their selfish convenience. [Full review in Spanish]

A Faithful Man is a vital offer. [Full Review in Spanish]

| Sep 5, 2019

Louis Garrel delivers a decidedly benign spin on the relationship film that his father, Philippe, has been perfecting for decades... A Faithful Man ultimately lacks the thematic weight and conceptual audaciousness of his father's work.

| Aug 28, 2019

The result plays like a short story - deftly detailed, efficient, full of telling vignettes, perfectly formed.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Aug 26, 2019

What the film does best is play with genre conventions.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Aug 26, 2019

This is a very French movie... It's a fun movie.

| Aug 23, 2019

This pair of female adventurers aren't even really characters, so much as fantasies. It's a shame because Garrel directs with frothy light-touch flair.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Aug 23, 2019

With its skittish structure and dependence on voiceovers, A Faithful Man can feel arch and old-fashioned, but it's deftly played and bathed in an enveloping glow by cinematographer Irina Lubtchansky.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Aug 22, 2019

It is a very enjoyable comedy with love plots that seems to revive today, with a very vintage stamp, the romantic spirit of the New French Wave. [Full Review in Spanish]

| Aug 19, 2019

Lovers of vintage French cinema will find it hard to resist.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Aug 19, 2019

Louis Garrel offers an interesting vision on masculinity today. [Full Review in Spanish]

| Original Score: 3.5/5 | Aug 16, 2019
