IndieWire

Mar 18, 2016

Côté often frames his protagonists in such precise compositions that the world they inhabit is inescapably artificial and symbolic, rather than dramatic.

FULL REVIEW

The Film Stage

Mar 18, 2016

Much like the film’s clinical cinematography, which is dominated by consistently striking yet lifeless tableaux, Côté’s theorem is closed in on itself, failing to produce interesting results.

By Giovanni Marchini Camia FULL REVIEW

The Globe and Mail (Toronto)

Mar 18, 2016

Beautiful to look at, the film showcases Côté’s talents at building tone and theme through images and sounds.

Screen Daily

Mar 18, 2016

Cote’s film is consistently interesting without making the self-involved Boris’s plight in any way compelling.

The A.V. Club

Sep 6, 2017

Boris Without Béatrice never feels like the work of an artist who actually believes in everything he’s doing.

Variety

Mar 18, 2016

A brittle, no-joke comedy of unchecked privilege that maintains the tone of social satire without ever alighting on a specific target.

By Guy Lodge FULL REVIEW

The Hollywood Reporter

Mar 18, 2016

This is a laborious film that dulls the human drama at its core. Rather than pulling you into the protagonist's gradual acquaintance with his unfamiliar conscience, it shuts you out, leaving you bored and indifferent.
