ColliderJason GorberMay 28, 2025
Bold, effective, and brilliant in equal measure, Moll’s film is a fine policier in the grandest of traditions, joining a long line of noir-inflected French police dramas unafraid of being more than vehicles for action and retribution. Read full review

Time OutLou ThomasMay 19, 2025
Much like the case itself, a crime drama performed and crafted with this level of care and social resonance is well worth investigating. Read full review

VarietyGuy LodgeMay 19, 2025
Intelligent, drily seething and duly enraging in turn, “Case 137” keeps its mind strictly on the job. Read full review

Screen RantPatrice WitherspoonMay 19, 2025
What makes Dossier 137 a fascinating watch is being able to observe a singular character battle all the complexities of morality when it comes to justice, truth, and conflict of interest. Moll doesn’t write Stéphanie with the intent of letting her take the easy way out, which creates some exceptional character study moments. Read full review

The Hollywood ReporterJordan MintzerMay 19, 2025
Made with the same laser-cut precision as his previous work, but with a greater emphasis on procedure than before, Moll’s new thriller puts the viewer in an uneasy place — between law and order, good cop and bad cop, protester and rioter — raising questions for which there are no easy answers.

TheWrapBen CrollMay 19, 2025
A procedural is never just about the case, even as the inquiry barrels along. To his credit, Moll ably recognizes as much, making his procedural a fine example of the form. Read full review

The PlaylistElena LazicMay 19, 2025
The director’s ingenuity lies in the telling. Hitting all the beats of the police procedural, Moll, with a simple but effective sleight of hand, turns the genre inside out, and points to a much bigger offscreen enemy: Emmanuel Macron. Read full review

IndieWireSophie Monks KaufmanMay 19, 2025
The moments when Moll lets the images reveal as much as the dialogue are the ones that linger. Read full review

Screen DailyTim GriersonMay 19, 2025
Case 137’s no-frills style can leave the film feeling a tad generic, and one wishes that Moll resisted underlining some of his thematic points so strenuously. But there’s a laudable awareness of the racial, class and gender issues at play in this story of a dogged middle-aged woman going into battle against a heavily male police force. Read full review

It’s high-minded, valuable work. Read full review
