Ines and Emilie have tensions between them which are uncomfortably alive, and Langseth’s script is a gnawing reminder that, even when the date of death is set, family quarrels and resentments can still be corrosive. Read full review

For a film that literally isolates its characters from the rest of the world to confront each other head-on, the drama plays more conventional than challenging. Read full review

The film exhibits almost nothing that resembles recognizable human behavior. Read full review

Jordan Mintzer

Jun 24, 2019

Equal parts solemn and sappy, Euphoria marks a well-performed if extremely heavy-handed foray into English-language filmmaking for Swedish director Lisa Langseth. Read full review

Euphoria struggles to be little more than a hum-drum meditation on kicking the bucket. Read full review

Notwithstanding a lively turn from Charles Dance as a chatty brain-tumor sufferer and a perfect Charlotte Rampling as a tranquil guide to oblivion, Euphoria gives up the ghost well before either of its unhappy heroines. Read full review

It is not simply that this film is utterly unrealistic – perhaps that can be overlooked; it’s a fable of sorts, set in a scrupulously neutral pan-European setting. What is unforgiveable is that Langseth’s approach to complex emotional issues is unsubtle at best and untruthful at worst. Read full review

Alicia Vikander and Eva Green want to sell you the project, and even get some help from Charlotte Rampling, but it all goes down the drain because it's so melodramatically prefabricated that the whole process becomes unrealistic and even worse, tedious as hell.

Des clichés et beaucoup de platitudes dans lesquelles s'embourbent les deux actrices (qu'on aime bien, certes) sans qu'on se sente vraiment concerné pour autant, loin de là même... Mémé Rampling est aussi de la fête dans son rôle habituel de conseillère d'orientation et psy au rabais... Cette euthanasie pour gros bourgeois dans ce manoir qui broie du noir à la cambrousse est affublé d'une musique au violoncelle qu'on torture et rien que le "décor" donne envie de se suicider...

La grande Eva s'en tire néanmoins à peu près mais assez mollement et la petite Alicia m'a l'air d'avoir ce petit quelque chose qui ferait presque d'elle une actrice si c'était judicieusement exploité, à savoir ce côté cynique et volontiers agressif... mais ici, ça ne suffit pas, hélas.

Bref, cette crise d'euthanasie rend le spectateur euthanasiaque : il faut en effet euthanasier d'urgence ce film de merde !… Expand
