The Hollywood ReporterJordan MintzerJul 17, 2014
Fanny is definitely a worthy companion to Marius, although it’s also more claustrophobic in terms of staging, confining the action to a handful of interior sequences that feel less like a movie than like filmed theater, albeit of a rather high order. Read full review

Slant MagazineClayton DillardJul 14, 2014
The characters, the sets, and the scenes all exist to propagate the notion that pleasure derives from repetition and remediation. Read full review
