| Original Score: 3/5 | Mar 21, 2024
While Revoir Paris is a drama, it is the suspense generated by the investigation that will keep our attention until the end. [Full review in Spanish]
| Original Score: 8/10 | Mar 21, 2024
Revoir Paris explores the contours of horror without ever showing it; that indescribable thing that filters into screams and gasps, glasses that break, a bustle that becomes deafening. [Full review in Spanish]
| Original Score: 4/5 | Mar 21, 2024
Without preciousness or platitudes, Winocour and Efira plumb the stark and sometimes painful truth of what it means to commit to the world of the living.
| Dec 11, 2023
Tempered with restraint, enhanced by moving performances, it evolves into an ode to our shared humanity.
| Original Score: 4/5 | Dec 2, 2023
Survivor guilt and false memory syndrome are but two of the themes director Alice Winocour laces through the film, her sedate exploration of the after effects violence inflicts on its victims evoking some touching moments of healing and human connection
| Original Score: 3.5/5 | Nov 10, 2023
Director Alice Winocour’s intimate testimony to courage in the wake of the 2015 Paris Bataclan bloodbath is as unyielding as it needs to be.
| Original Score: 4/5 | Nov 9, 2023
In the reconstruction of the memory of the events, is where the subtexts lie... [Full review in Spanish]
| Sep 26, 2023
A deeply humane, delicately constructed journey through trauma and recovery that cuts like a knife and soothes like a hug, somehow, miraculously, managing both bundles of feeling at the same time.
| Original Score: 4.5/5 | Aug 15, 2023
It’s (Winocour's) laser focus, along with Efira’s tremendous restraint and Stéphane Fontaine’s striking cinematography, that invigorates this powerful study on trauma, coping, and ultimately resilience.
| Original Score: 4.5/5 | Aug 8, 2023
Alice Winocour has sound credentials: she has a brother who lived through the attack at the Bataclan Theatre in 2015. Yet I'm still not sure that if I were recovering from a traumatic event I'd find deep succour in her film's generalities.
| Original Score: 3/5 | Aug 7, 2023
Although the impact of an atrocity such as the Bataclan attack is a shared, collective trauma on a national level, Winocour is at pains to point out that every experience is unique.
| Original Score: 4/5 | Aug 6, 2023
Winocour’s carefully curated survivors, orphaned children and estranged spouses offer a refreshingly diverse picture of the first and second-hand wounds trauma can leave.
| Original Score: 4/5 | Aug 4, 2023
Mia’s story might tie up a little too neatly but Paris Memories is still a commanding and empathetic tribute.
| Original Score: 4/5 | Aug 4, 2023
It’s powerful film-making, grounded by Efira’s enormous, often silent, central performance.
| Original Score: 4/5 | Aug 4, 2023
This touching character study makes a trip to a quiet art-house cinema feel doubly satisfying.
| Original Score: 4/5 | Aug 4, 2023
Virginie Efira has a calm solidity that has made her current French cinema’s most approachable Everywoman.
| Original Score: 3/5 | Aug 4, 2023
At all times, Efira is simply sublime as a woman whose life has suffered a cataclysmic reset, but who still manages love and compassion among the rubble.
| Original Score: 4/5 | Aug 4, 2023
In Paris Memories Alice Winocour and Virginie Efira offer a thoughtful meditation on tragedy, saying volumes through very modest means.
| Original Score: 4/5 | Aug 3, 2023
Devastating, yet ultimately rewarding, Paris Memories [Revoir Paris] offers an alternative to the usual socio-political consideration of a terrorist attack by drawing a humane, kaleidoscopic portrait of various survivors’ crisis responses.
| Original Score: 4/5 | Aug 3, 2023
