No filmmaker has ever loved anything as much as Abdellatif Kechiche loves butts. Read full review

The GuardianPeter BradshawMay 24, 2019
Bizarre, colossally self-indulgent ... This one feels as if Kechiche has simply given us three-and-a-half hours of his unused beach and nightclub footage from the first film. Read full review

Screen DailyFionnuala HalliganMay 24, 2019
While it’s important to have seen Canto Uno in order to savour Intermezzo, this film in itself doesn’t seem remotely essential. Read full review

The A.V. ClubA.A. Dowd May 24, 2019
A baffling passion project whose cruelly protracted runtime is eclipsed only by the monumentally tedious way it fills it. Read full review

The TelegraphRobbie CollinMay 24, 2019
In short, it’s a bum trip and then some. Kechiche has always been an admirer of the female posterior, but here he shifts styles into what could be called gluteus maximalism, filling the screen with frantically gyrating hindquarters for literal hours on end. Read full review

TheWrapBen CrollMay 24, 2019
Toxically indulgent ... Add up nothing but the shots of jiggling butts and you’ll have an hour’s worth of footage. Read full review

VarietyGuy LodgeMay 24, 2019
Vacuous, almost spitefully monotonous ... A dismaying creative dead end from an abundantly gifted filmmaker, the new film escalates its predecessor’s cheeky protest to a form of acute auteur trolling. Read full review

New York Magazine (Vulture)Bilge EbiriJul 11, 2019
Beyond being tiresome, Intermezzo is just plain ugly, with seemingly little care given to the image — odd, perhaps, given that the film is so clearly and confrontationally about its own director’s gaze. Read full review

The PlaylistCaroline TsaiMay 24, 2019
Mektoub, My Love: Intermezzo begins to feel like a human rights violation ... It’s almost impossible to stress how unpleasant this moviegoing experience was, to the point where it’s difficult to imagine a human being making this movie and considering it art. Read full review

It is not just a tough sit; it is nearly impossible to get through. Read full review

Los Angeles TimesJustin ChangMay 24, 2019
A numbingly obtuse experience, a feat of maddeningly indulgent non-storytelling hiding behind a symphony of bared midriffs and jiggling derrières. ... Kechiche doesn’t just sell out his characters, his story and his collaborators; he sells out his own talent. Read full review
