Although it may initially seem like a fairly wispy story of family dynamics and romantic uncertainty, there’s a subtle depth to the proceedings that creeps up on you in resonant ways. Read full review

A film that feels like a sumptuous beach read on a lazy sunny afternoon. Read full review

Sachs offers many gentle pleasures in his latest film ... That said, this is definitely a second-tier entry from the director. Read full review

Owen Gleiberman

There are a few surprises in Frankie, and the movie, in its placid way, wants to deliver a tug of revelation of what life is about. The trouble is, life at the end of this day doesn’t look very much different than it did at the start of the day. Read full review

Movie Nation Roger Moore

Nov 14, 2019

Frankie is filled with absurdly frank confessions and moments of over-sharing as a stellar cast breaks up into pairs for scenes that don’t so much go anywhere as flesh in the back stories in front of one of the loveliest tourist towns on The Continent. Read full review

Richard Roeper

Nov 6, 2019

The scenes between Gleeson and Huppert are rendered in muted tones and are sweet and effective. Subplots involving Sylvia and Paul are flat and uninteresting. Read full review

The Guardian Peter Bradshaw

May 23, 2019

The scenes have no fire or lightness and sometimes they are embarrassing. ... Sachs is such a talented film-maker, but this is a baffling misstep. Read full review

The cast is excellent, and these is one of those occasions when seeing Isabelle Huppert is a delight, however the movie feels inert, and in many moments tedious.

There isn't much to salvage.
There's nothing remarkable to mention.
