I was surprised to find Emmanuelle lingered in the memory a lot more than any story about the brief rush of desire should. Read full review

IndieWire Natalia Winkelman

In aiming for a piece of atmospheric sensuality, she instead lands in an erotic no man’s land, where the dramatic but obvious filmmaking — like an orbital shot when Emmanuelle finally reaches orgasm — isn’t surprising or evocative enough to make up for the silly monologues and empty characterizations.

Mostly Emmanuelle feels like a package and looks like packaged luxury, the kind that comes with money and not very much taste. Read full review

Guy Lodge

Sep 24, 2024

Saying something freshly substantive about female desire while honoring the film’s defining spirit of vapid, diaphanous horniness is a tricky, potentially unworkable brief; Audrey Diwan‘s inert, frequently frigid new film opts to do neither. Read full review

Nov 5, 2024

The result is an empty film about emptiness, and therefore doubly depressing. Read full review

The film is not wanting for alluring, dramatic situations, but the filmmakers seem at best haplessly blind and at worst blithely dismissive of their potential. Read full review

The Observer (UK) Wendy Ide

Jan 19, 2025

Diwan relocates the action to Hong Kong and remakes Emmanuelle as a glossy but dispiriting treatise on the emptiness of the corporate world, punctuated by lots of panting, lip-chewing abandon. Read full review
