100A standout.
-
89That Aimée & Jaguar manages so well in triple duty as a wartime melodrama with a lesbian twist is remarkable.
-
88A guilty pleasure and one of the best films of the year.
-
83Färberböck's sensual adaptation is a matter of fact embrace of the unconventional and dangerous during a terrible time.
-
83It's a first love story that goes beyond many simplistic notions as to why people fall for one another. If it weren't true, no one would believe it.
-
83First-time feature film director Max Farberbock has given a terrific visual style, resonance, sense of hope and power to the material.
-
80A bold, remarkable film.
-
80A sophisticated and beautiful feature debut.
-
80Its series of quiet but moving realizations of the utter ubiquity of the Nazi horror in every single aspect of life, even something as hidden as a sexual sub-culture, is powerful indeed.
-
76One of the year's best imports and one of the very few queer movies that transcends its sexual orientation.
-
75This is the kind of story that has to be true; as fiction, it would not be believable.
-
75When Aimee and Jaguar gets on one of its frequent rolls, it can evoke memories of Bertolucci or even De Sica.
-
75Färberböck has directed the story with a canny blend of liveliness and taste.
-
75Entertaining, extravagantly emotional.
-
A lustrously shot, well-acted and immensely moving romantic drama.
-
75There's no denying the raw emotional power of this heart-rending story.
-
70With key scenes so vivid they barely feel scripted, this is more than a same-sex success, it's a most affecting, most sensual on-screen love affair, period.
-
70A surprisingly lush, well-produced film.
-
60A consistently engrossing piece of work.
-
60Relies on the hefty talents of its two leading ladies.
-
40There is surprisingly little emotional amplitude in the film.
