CineVueLucy PopescuMar 11, 2015
Love and war are a winning combination and Eduard Grau's cinematography, terrific performances all round, in particular the simmering chemistry between Schoenaerts and Williams, should ensure Suite Française's success as well as adding to Némirovsky’s fan base. Read full review

Time Out LondonDave CalhounMar 11, 2015
The film is not without its problems – Michelle Williams is an elusive lead, and a wide array of characters come at the expense of depth – but it’s a knotty, thoughtful piece of work nonetheless. Read full review

VarietyGuy LodgeMar 11, 2015
Clumsy storytelling decisions, however, can’t entirely get in the way of a good story, and it’s when Suite francaise focuses on the simplest human dynamics of its yarn that it forges a sincere emotional connection. Read full review

Screen DailyMark AdamsMar 11, 2015
Suite Francaise exudes a sense of glossy class in its design, staging and costumes and its lead actress Michelle Williams is especially fine, responding perfectly to a role that could have been tricky. Read full review

Movie NationRoger MooreJun 27, 2018
The central romance earns short shrift, with all these characters to service and all those story lines to get in. It doesn’t help that Williams’ Lucille doesn’t give herself over to the passion and never quite sells us this “relationship.” Schoenaerts broods over just what he might be putting on the line, but Williams is so cool that we don’t buy into the risks taken.

The TelegraphTim RobeyMar 11, 2015
Well-played and divertingly handsome, it’s one of those pedigreed visions of love and war which backs away from specifics, reassuring us almost to death with its lavish craft. It’s thoroughly easy to sit through, when it should probably have been harder. Read full review

Total FilmRob JamesMar 11, 2015
A much-admired text is respectfully brought to the screen in a film that nonetheless struggles under the burden of its war movie clichés. Read full review

EmpireAnna SmithMar 9, 2015
Sterling performances lift the occasionally soapy storyline in this semi-successful adaptation. Read full review

The Hollywood ReporterLeslie FelperinMar 11, 2015
Has sturdy production values, a tony cast and middlebrow tastefulness up the wazoo, but barely any soul, bite or genuine passion. Read full review
