The Telegraph Tim Robey

Aug 11, 2022

Taken as a speculative romance, and in the right matinee spirit, it’s lushly engaging, with a star pairing that – appropriately – rivets. Read full review

Lisa Nesselson

Apr 20, 2022

Issues of class, wealth and power are woven into the tale but this is a bittersweet love story at heart. Read full review

The Guardian Peter Bradshaw

Aug 16, 2022

The whole thing is performed with relish and high spirits, and the digital fabrications of the Tower itself, rising out of the ground in stages with hair-raisingly dangerous structural work, are entertainingly contrived. Read full review

Peter Debruge

Apr 20, 2022

Bourboulon hatches a second-rate romance, rather than detailing the rich, real-life drama that swirled around Eiffel’s controversial endeavor. Read full review

“Freely inspired by a true story.” That’s the filmmakers’ cunningly phrased hand-wave acknowledging the gap between actual history and the moony-eyed imagined romance proffered here. Still, it’s a curious deployment of the creative license: You’d think the construction of one of man’s greatest monuments would supply sufficient drama on its own. Read full review

Josh Slater-Williams

Aug 31, 2022

This is French-British rising star Mackey’s first screen role in French, and she’s charismatic enough to make future French-language features centred on her seem enticing. That said, as engaging as she is, her casting simultaneously embodies the sloppiness of the film as a whole. Read full review

One can’t help but wonder if Eiffel is merely a lame fantasy or a particularly spineless form of mythmaking, whittling down as it does one nation’s politically loaded event to the equivalent of an Eiffel Tower key chain with an inscription reading “city of love.” Read full review

This "freely adapted" drama follows his challenges to build the structure for 1889 Paris World Fair, despite protests and setbacks. Being that this is a French film, there's also a romance, which is meant to add depth to his dilemmas. While what is shown is interesting, the work on the tower lunges forward near the end without much additional exploration. His frustrated love affair doesn't add anything but time. If the filmmakers had focused more on the actual construction this might have been a fascinating historical chronicle. As it stands (pun intended), Eiffel is an attractive period piece that's only a ground-level look at the project.… Expand

Para começar, Romain Duris até que atua bem e consegue passar a imagem de arquiteto visonário, mas com muito romantismo, literalmente. Os empresários são nada mais nada menos do que caricaturas, e de uma hora a outra embargam o empreendimento, o que faz com que seja uma busca idealista, meio que "por amor" ao projeto. Além disso, há um par romântico que torna tudo muito não orgânico na trama.
A fotografia é tão monotônica, de uma escuridão esquisita, que somente nas cenas finais a gente lembra de estar na cidade das luzes.
De toda a forma, a cena com os trabalhadores erguendo o empreendimento são razoáveis, e a história por trás (não sei até que ponto o filme se excedeu aqui) é muito interessante para pensarmos as relações internacionais na história geral. Tirando isso, o filme não entrega muita coisa, e rapidamente se tornará esquecível.… Expand
