Narrative Muse
Rating: 3/5 --
A respectful adaptation, yet one that fails to translate the intensity of Maupassant's writing.

Rating: 3/5 --
A textured film that may just be too dour for its own good.

One Room With A View
Rating: 4/5 --
The significance of some recurring images...only crystalizes as events unfold. The accumulated detail of the period recreation feels uncomfortably authentic.

Credit to Stéphane Brizé for an impressive piece of filmmaking with a refreshingly contemporary approach.

Time Out
Rating: 4/5 --
It's marvellously done, with mournful aquatint colours, spare music (on what sounds like a spinet) and elliptical tableaux that keep you creatively guessing.

Financial Times
Rating: 3/5 --
What saves this from being a dull downer is the lightness of touch in the direction and performances, the spontaneity of the dialogue as characters discuss dress designs or household expenditure.
