Amanda Reviews

A genuine emotional revelation. [Full review in Spanish]

| Original Score: 4/5 | Dec 29, 2020

A conventional movie about family wounds. [Full review in Spanish]

| Original Score: 5/10 | Aug 1, 2020

There is a refreshing lightness present in the film that transcends the desolation that many films of its ilk tend to fall into. [Full Review in Spanish]

Beyond that somewhat forced climax at Wimbledon, it's [Vincent Lacoste and Isaure Multrierthe's] performances that illuminate the film. [Full review in Spanish]

| Original Score: 3/5 | May 27, 2020

While the film works as a whole, one thing stands out: we never see the terror attack... It knocks you out, but you rebuild, like the characters on screen.

| Original Score: 3.5/5 | Jan 23, 2020

Amanda may explore loss with sensitivity and grace, but only after it's shielded its eyes from the rest of the world.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Jan 10, 2020

There's a welcome hint of Eric Rohmer as the characters stroll and talk. In its engagement with grief, however, Mikhaël Hers's film lacks a strong identity.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Jan 7, 2020

It's the kind of movie that explores how all of us are dealing with our own issues in our own ways, getting on with life as best we can in the circumstances. It can't help but offer hope and inspiration.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Jan 6, 2020

Multrier has an incredibly expressive face, able to telegraph a grieving child's mixed emotions, spanning anger, pain, petulance, incredulity and ruddy-cheeked joy.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Jan 5, 2020

[Director Mikhaël] Hers delivers a hard lesson about the healing power of love and acceptance with simple and unsentimental eloquence.

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

[T]hough it drags at times, it does celebrate the simple virtues of love, constancy and decency.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Jan 2, 2020

Amanda has that pressing, anticipatory feel of a Michael Haneke movie, an air of slightly smug urban contentment about to be shattered.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Dec 31, 2019

The risk is mawkishness, but the film sidesteps it with a close-up study of loss and new connection.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Dec 31, 2019

A sweetly accomplished depiction of how love and time can help start the healing process.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Dec 20, 2019

The initial scenes are remarkable for communicating sadness and sweetness at the same time. [Full Review in Spanish]

| Original Score: 7/10 | Nov 9, 2019

The performances fit perfectly with the tone that the director seeks. [Full review in Spanish]

| Original Score: 3.5/5 | Nov 7, 2019

If this isn't a terrible drama, it's because it maintains a prudent distance from pain, showing the beauty that the Parisian summer and human relations can offer even in the worst circumstances. [Full review in Spanish]

| Oct 31, 2019

What Mikhaël Hers films is not the [terrorist act] but its effects, on the survivors, the city's dynamic, and the experience of time. [Full Review in Spanish]

| Oct 31, 2019

Amanda has excellent direction, but it can't help but waste the opportunity of creating more profound moments. [Full Review in Spanish]

| Original Score: 3.5/5 | Sep 7, 2019

A very good movie, measured by precise performances and a tone that is never too exaggerated. [Full Review in Spanish]
