This is a movie about our surprising ability to deal with disaster — the instincts that emerge when we least expect them to [...] Hansen-Løve’s gentle, intelligent filmmaking puts people at its center as it explores human resilience.

Mia Hansen-Løve’s Things to Come represents a major return to the form of her terrific first two films.

A story about the flow of life, the passage of time, generational conflict, and the moment in which middle age isn't suddenly as far as it seemed. [Full review in Spanish]

Natalie's reactions to the new situation, a mixture of freedom and loss, are the most interesting parts of the film [Full review in Spanish]

| Jul 18, 2021

A gentle and warm reminder that life steamrolls us, no matter how hard we try to prevent it.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Jun 7, 2021

L'avenir is also Hansen-Løve's most technically accomplished work to date. Sun drenched, warm cinematography and always moving camera make a point that whatever life throws at you, it's not as earth shattering as it seems. One of the very best this year.

Isabelle Huppert is reliably good, despite not having the big emotional moments she so routinely pulls off if more dynamic roles. Her character's journey builds throughout the film, but in an unusual way.

| Jan 4, 2021

There's no way to resolve her dimensions, and Hansen-Løve doesn't suggest there might be. Living honestly is extraordinarily difficult, especially when you're trying to live empathetically...

Things to Come is an exquisite vehicle for the incomparable Isabelle Huppert, a performer who is the heartbeat of every sequence within the film.

Things To Come is bolstered by the terrific Isabelle Huppert, who is apparently chronically incapable of giving a boring performance.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Sep 30, 2019

[Isabelle] Huppert gives us a great character study, but we thought the end was a let down.

It is a superb portrait about starting over, being reborn and accepting that what remains to come is also interesting. [Full Review in Spanish]

| Aug 16, 2019

A film of beautiful moments, adding up to a disarmingly devastating, and yet surprisingly hopeful, whole.

| Original Score: 3.5/4 | Jun 4, 2019

Isabelle Huppert is amazing.

| Original Score: A+ | Mar 13, 2019

Things to Come tries too hard to be accessible and high-brow at the same time.

| Feb 21, 2019

Huppert still commands the screen as a woman undergoing massive changes in the Hansen-Løve's latest excellent work.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Nov 1, 2018

Hopeful or depressing, depending on your outlook. The script is brilliant, and successfully weaves in many philosophical concepts without getting lost in minutiae.

| Oct 24, 2018

While relatively plot-driven, it's also content to observe a few years in Nathalie's (Huppert) life.

| Aug 28, 2018

It's a clever, subtle film from one of the best working filmmakers today.

| Original Score: 4.5/5 | Aug 28, 2018

What makes the pain bearable is its attention to the details of everyday life, the beauty in small, otherwise ordinary moments and the strength we can summon to move forward, even when it hurts like hell.
