The Film Stage

Dec 4, 2023

Yes, its rather reserved form may draw some television-movie comparisons, but as a complicated story told succinctly and with nary a trace of sentimentality, it’s an admirable film. And through it all, Huppert still finds subtle ways to disappear into and elevate the narrative.

The filmmakers do seem frequently flummoxed by the scale of the narrative, and you get a sense of them trying to cram a lot into a two-hour running time.

By Glenn Kenny FULL REVIEW

The Guardian

Jun 29, 2023

It’s a political thriller that tells the story matter-of-factly, and is perhaps a little lacking in the pace department. But Isabelle Huppert carries it along with a performance every bit as gripping as you’d expect.

Screen Daily

What power it has derives from the knowledge that this shocking story actually happened. When that’s the case, it’s maybe good to have it served straight.

The New York Times

Nov 30, 2023

Sometimes the best reason to watch a movie is because Isabelle Huppert is in it. That’s pretty much true of La Syndicaliste, a tangled if certainly watchable French true-crime drama about dirty political doings in the nation’s nuclear energy industry.

The Observer (UK)

Jul 2, 2023

It’s not unusual, unfortunately, for the victims of sexual attacks to find themselves distrusted and even accused. What rankles in the film’s approach is that the audience is also encouraged to question her story.

By Wendy Ide FULL REVIEW

Little White Lies

Jul 1, 2023

Salomé is not an imaginative director, apparently content to sit back and watch Huppert command the film with little regard for the rest of his cast and crew.
