Non-Fiction Reviews

…allows the audience to sit back and listen to the conversation, making up our own minds about the people involved. It’s this feel for dinner-party chat that makes Non-Fiction such a pleasure to participate in…

| Original Score: 4/5 | Apr 28, 2024

Olivier Assayas’s latest film holds on to the old world while recognizing the new.

| Aug 21, 2023

The movie takes unexpected turns, and moves between fiction and reality [Full review in Spanish]

| Original Score: A | Aug 10, 2023

It questions, in the key of social criticism and long talks, the traps of the digital age, but its sophisticated side loses the effect of irony in a second half marked by redundancy and a excessive verbal transparency. [Full review in Spanish]

| Original Score: 6/10 | Nov 5, 2022

Assayas' characters, who have spent the entire film looking for some constant to hold onto in their lives, come to the realization that the only thing that's really constant in our lives is change. And by the end, so do we.

| Original Score: 7/10 | Jun 14, 2022

The joys of Non-Fiction result from the lived-in performances, Binoche and Macaigne above all, and the humor that is subtle at times, more pointed at others.

| Original Score: 4/4 | Mar 3, 2022

Where it lacks Assayas' languid visual language, Non-fiction makes up with his sharp, witty dialog and humor.

| Feb 13, 2021

Binoche can do a lot more than just make winking jokes about her industry and, later in this film, herself.

| Original Score: C | Feb 4, 2021

[It] has some surprising big laughs, which make it even more of a delight...

| Oct 14, 2020

Non-Fiction largely manages to balance [its] contemplativeness with a certain playful buoyancy.

| Jul 30, 2020

The intellectualism of the dialogue plays as mechanical, and references to modern media feel like a checklist. E-reader? Check. Blog? Check. Google alert? Check, check, check.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Jul 25, 2020

The original title means 'Double Lives' and sums it up a lot better, in fact. [...] It's refreshing to see a film with these philosophical discussions that have a very modern sensibility

| May 22, 2020

[F]or the right audience, the topic will be fascinating as the dialogue is well written and delivered with the expected Gallic panache.

| Jan 18, 2020

It plays out as a delicious witty farce about the changing modern-world, that's fast-paced and well-acted.

| Original Score: B+ | Dec 23, 2019

A parody of bourgeois French cinema, and the focus on the comically transparent autofictions of the hapless writer, Léonard, mimicked classic Woody Allen - not in a good way.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Dec 4, 2019

The performances are impeccable, but it's the brilliance of Olivier Assayas's writing and control of the increasingly witty tone that makes this a cine-literary gem.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Oct 25, 2019

Two hours of French naval-gazing about smoking, drinking, complaining...

| Oct 24, 2019

[T]he film gradually reveals itself to be a both a sly take-down of such intellectual and ideological posturing and a funny celebration of the very human foibles for which such behaviour is often a cover.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Oct 23, 2019

A nicely executed farce with, as an added bonus, the sight of Juliette Binoche's actress character starring in a 온라인카지노추천 cop drama.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Oct 21, 2019

Without a central plot, the film swirls around conversations between five main characters whose lives are engagingly intertwined.

| Original Score: 3.5/5 | Oct 21, 2019
