All the action in Souvenir happens in such a dreamlike haze, that it’s my personal pet theory that none of it is actually real and Liliane has been sitting in front of the TV the whole time. Read full review

The story is simple — too simple, in fact — and some of its more intriguing elements could use further developing, but the presence of Huppert makes Souvenir well worth a look. Read full review

It’s a film so light that it barely exists but Huppert makes it worth remembering. Read full review

Huppert at 65 is “still getting it done.” She’s a magnetic presence in any film. But too much of this one is trite, tried and true. And the tunes? Not tone-deaf, but close. Read full review

The movie doesn’t have the budget or imagination to permit subplots. Read full review

While there’s poignancy to be found in Souvenir’s depiction of aging and work, the sexual politics leave something to be desired. Read full review

Huppert is such a master of her craft that even the silliest sequences give way to tour-de-force moments. Read full review
