A lush piece of filmmaking that is spectacular to view, but as a movie, it's a snooze.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Sep 17, 2021

A handsomely mounted piece based on a bit of unsolved criminal intrigue, the title doesn't always work as a thriller, but maintains a rather melancholy stance as an off-kilter character piece for Deneuve and Haenel.

| Original Score: 2.5/5 | Oct 20, 2020

Deneuve elevates the proceedings with a performance that is iconic in nature and presentation.

| Original Score: 3.0/4.0 | Sep 11, 2020

"In the Name of My Daughter" sets out to disrupt genre conventions, but it just plays like a failed version of the kind of film it's trying to critique.

| Feb 16, 2018

Feeling more in line with a blas made-for-온라인카지노추천-movie, the film coasts mostly on the strength of the stellar ensemble's performances and Nice's gorgeous scenery.

| Original Score: 2.5/5 | Nov 5, 2017

A true crime story of money and power and sex and betrayal and missing persons and the mafia, Andr Tchin's French Riviera-set film stars Catherine Deneuve as a casino owner and still somehow manages to be dull.

| Aug 24, 2017

Late Tchin is restrained; late Deneuve is not. The standout performer is Adle Haenel as the daughter who goes missing: she's a lively wire.

| Jul 23, 2015

Not even Catherine Deneuve can save this dramatically inert soap opera of corruption and obsession, which does not even resolve its central mystery.

| Jun 3, 2015

... a desultory mash-up of tones and styles. It doesn't really succeed as either melodrama or mystery. Tchin's pacing is off and potentially incriminating information is jack-hammered into place.

| Original Score: 1.5/4 | Jun 2, 2015

It lowers the stakes on murder and betrayal to the point where they're about as riveting as a parking ticket.

| Original Score: C | May 31, 2015

Tells a lurid, fact-based story in a curiously understated, reticent way...intriguing but emotionally rather dessicated.

| Original Score: C+ | May 29, 2015

Engrossing material, with a very watchable trio.

| Original Score: 3/4 | May 29, 2015

A compelling true-crime film noir and another fine Deneuve-Techine collaboration.

| Original Score: A minus | May 29, 2015

More disappointing than the film's inertia and amorphousness is its sacrifice of the real-world themes of class, money, corruption, and power. Unable to decide what story he wanted to tell, Tchin hedges his bets and loses everything.

| Original Score: 1.5/4 | May 28, 2015

Catherine Deneuve Still Has It In This Dramatic Mystery

| Original Score: 3.5/5 | May 25, 2015

It has its true-crime fascinations, and, until its misbegotten 30-year flash-forward to Maurice's trial, it has a silky allure of sun-kissed depravity.

| Original Score: B- | May 22, 2015

Although it's disjointed, "In the Name of My Daughter" is gripping, with enough troubling turns of plot to help forgive its awkward conclusion.

| Original Score: B- | May 22, 2015

'In the Name of My Daughter" is one of those French films that leave you going "huh?"

| Original Score: C- | May 22, 2015

It's a pleasure to take in the lush settings, to hear the delicately ominous score (by Benjamin Biolay) and to watch these actors circling each other.

| Original Score: 3/4 | May 21, 2015

A fascinating, suspenseful story about obsessive love, money, the Mafia, and murder.

| Original Score: 3.5/4 | May 21, 2015
