It’s melodramatic to the hilt, but it pulled me in and made me sob like a baby by the end.

From the Land of the Moon is not without merit -Cotillard's expressive face is compulsively watchable- but be prepared for some significant suspension of disbelief.

| Original Score: 2.5/5 | Feb 5, 2020

Cotillard's emotional energy is wasted in Garcia's capably directed romantic drama, which is visually polished by Christophe Beaucarne, though his glossy frames actually create an accidental desolation in the film's jagged void of unlikely drama.

| Original Score: 1/5 | Oct 10, 2019

Do not be afraid that it's a French Film, do not be afraid that it's a love movie. It's a film that invites you in with its images and the powerful moral it entails. Do not miss. [Full Review in Spanish]

| Original Score: 3/5 | Mar 14, 2018

It's difficult to imagine how this film would have been without the presence of the actress of La Vie en Rose and Two days, One Night. [Full review in Spanish]

A surprise late-picture twist fails to ring true and isn't all that surprising, anyway.

| Aug 23, 2017

The mistakes of From the Land of the Moon are wide-ranging, but they all start with a character who's not worth our time.

| Original Score: 1.5/4 | Aug 18, 2017

Almost laughable in its broad, empty portrayal of sexual desire.

| Aug 17, 2017

Instead of any meaningful exploration of mental illness, the film exploits the affliction of its protagonist for a meandering romantic melodrama with an unconvincing final-act twist.

| Aug 11, 2017

Marion Cotillard is in over her head working to save a tedious screenplay that depends too much on her character alone.

| Original Score: 7/10 | Aug 5, 2017

[From the Land of the Moon] makes for a rather tedious exploration of a rebellious and repressed spirit.

| Original Score: 4.8/10 | Aug 4, 2017

Moments of visual beauty only call attention to the stilted dialogue and maudlin plot that otherwise define the film.

| Original Score: 1/4 | Aug 3, 2017

Garcia never gets a grasp on her protagonist's contradictions, or those of her story - certainly not enough to pull off the movie's jaw-dropper of a twist.

| Aug 2, 2017

A film with the impeccable performance of Àlex Brendemühl and an always stimulating Louis Garrel; Two poles of a misdiagnosed misfortune that finds an academic film therapy. [Full review in Spanish]

| Original Score: 3/5 | Aug 1, 2017

Director Nicole Garcia creates a romantic drama that at times falls back on clichés, but also covers new ground with a love-it-or-hate-it unexpected ending.

| Jul 28, 2017

Another French examination of l'amour fou, this one verging on risibility with its excessive devotion to the excessiveness of its heroine.

| Jul 28, 2017

Cotillard's madwoman contortions cannot pass for innocent adolescent pique, and this exposes the film's fakery...with sidelong references to imperialism and immigration, the film becomes increasingly absurd and indulgent.

| Jul 28, 2017

The story could have used a little less Under the Tuscan Sun and a little more All That Heaven Allows.

| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Jul 28, 2017

From the Land of the Moon could have been a story of a woman's maturation, or a relationship's evolution. Instead, it just moons about love so lost that it may never have existed at all.

| Jul 27, 2017

[A] mostly turgid, occasionally risible period piece ...
