Austin ChronicleDanielle WhiteMar 14, 2018
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

The GuardianBenjamin LeeFeb 28, 2018
It’s a film so light that it barely exists but Huppert makes it worth remembering. Read full review

The Film StageJared MobarakFeb 28, 2018
The songs are catchy, the romance sweetly intense, and the lack of meaty drama an intentional maneuver to keep things light. As a distraction from life’s inherent drama, you could do a lot worse. Read full review

Los Angeles TimesRobert AbeleMar 15, 2018
Not that there aren't sporadic pleasures in store for the star's completists — a seasoned gesture here, a well-timed tear there and the steely beauty of her ageless gaze.

Movie NationRoger MooreFeb 28, 2018
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 New York TimesGlenn KennyMar 1, 2018
The story is as predictable as they come, played out at such a low emotional temperature as to be practically ignorable. Which wouldn’t necessarily be a problem if it offered something else worth paying attention to. Something else besides the endlessly watchable lead actress, that is. 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
