Wendy Ide Observer (UK) Jan 6, 2019
4/5
One of the more muted films of Corsini's career, a picture that quilts its fierce political heart with a woolly layer of female martyrdom. Go to Full Review
Donald Clarke Irish Times Jan 4, 2019
4/5
There are incidental efforts to offer social-historical comment on France in turbulent times. But it is the characterisation that really holds the attention. Go to Full Review
Kevin Maher The Times (UK) Jan 4, 2019
3/5

Alex Heeney Seventh Row Jan 13, 2020
Un amour impossible is a tough watch, but oh, what a beautiful film. The period costumes are not only gorgeous but the textures are rendered with such precision you feel like you could reach out and touch them. Go to Full Review
Sergi Sánchez Fotogramas Jul 16, 2019
3/5

Jordi Costa El Pais (Spain) Jul 16, 2019
The way in which Virginie Efira holds the erosion of time on the screen becomes the great reservoir of genius under the braid of unfortunate narrative decisions. [Full review in Spanish] Go to Full Review
