David Sterritt

Faucher's filmmaking is exquisite, Naymark's acting is luminous, and superb use of music lends a crowning touch. Read full review

V.A. Musetto

Eleonore Faucher, first-time director (and co-writer) of the French charmer Sequins, is well aware of Neymark's allure and sees to it that the young woman is seldom out of the frame. Read full review

Elizabeth Weitzman

A lovely, almost painfully intimate story of female bonding that never panders to its characters or its audience. Read full review

TV Guide Magazine Ken Fox

Touched with eerie dream sequences, the film casts a strange spell that's enhanced by the rhythmic, almost sensual depiction of the painstaking art of embroidery. Read full review

Lisa Nesselson

Thoughtful cross-generational portrait is full of familiar building blocks rendered fresh by first time feature helmer Eleonore Faucher. Read full review

Manohla Dargis

Unfortunately, Ms. Faucher's screenplay, written with Gaëlle Macé, never finds its focus or reason for being, and Ms. Naymark just doesn't have enough screen presence to make up for the lack of a story or to justify all those tenderly attentive close-ups. Read full review

Frank Scheck

Sequins will tax the patience of most viewers not enthralled with endless close-ups of beads and brocades. Read full review
