Screen DailyDavid D'ArcyJun 24, 2019
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

The PlaylistKevin JagernauthJun 24, 2019
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

The Film StageChristopher SchobertJun 24, 2019
Euphoria is undeniably a missed opportunity at creating a drama of frayed sisterhood that feels fresh and unique. The film is also too restrained and unambitious to make a grand statement on mortality. Read full review

Film ThreatNick Rocco ScaliaAug 25, 2019
It’s not that Euphoria lacks good intentions or comes off as superficial in its treatment of death and dying. It’s just that there’s so much potential for grace or humor or despair or horror inherent in its premise. It’s sad to see so much of that thematic territory go so thoroughly, if politely, unexplored.

Los Angeles TimesNoel MurrayJun 27, 2019
Alicia Vikander, Eva Green and Charlotte Rampling pump some energy into writer-director Lisa Langseth’s overly static, chatty drama, but are let down by a movie that keeps promising — and failing — to blossom into something more. Read full review

The Hollywood ReporterJordan MintzerJun 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

The New York TimesJeannette CatsoulisJun 27, 2019
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

VarietyAlissa SimonJun 24, 2019
The catharsis feels fake and unearned. Moreover, the film lacks the warmth and respect for all of of its characters displayed in Langseth’s previous work. Read full review

ObserverRex ReedJun 28, 2019
A Swedish-German co-production in English, Euphoria should be called Dyspepsia. It lulls you into a disagreeable stupor clearly labeled “who cares?” Read full review

The Globe and Mail (Toronto)Kate TaylorJun 24, 2019
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
