Reviews for Nathalie
... the conceit works beautifully with the right personalities, talented and uninhibited, engaged in its execution.

Worth a look, especially if you appreciate the very particular and sometimes peculiar charms of contemporary French cinema.
09/24/04
The film's considerable eroticism is all in the atmosphere and the dialogue.
12/05/04
well-mannered, though never dull
04/23/06
The performances are better than the material deserves, but, even so, there's often no tangible friction between the female leads.
08/07/04
Nathalie is intricate, provocative, cleanly acted, but it's never entirely convincing -- and never more so than in the table-turning climax.
04/11/06
Deals with the impleasantries of sexual behavior without submitting to the level of cheap softcore theatrics.
10/14/04
Talky, but with an interesting performance by Depardieu.
04/11/06
Nathalie... offers compelling food for thought, with a little visual stimulation thrown in on the side.
04/14/06
Top CriticAs a rather naughty slice of erotica it works brilliantly, with Ardant and Béart making a fascinating partnership.
08/07/04
A decent import with a nice ending -– and you couldn't ask for better acting talent.
08/07/04
Between the leonine Ardant, the streets of Paris, and the nearly hypnotic score by Michael Nyman, the sophisticated Nathalie oozes with elegance.
04/13/06
Underwhelming ending and all, Nathalie... remains a powerful exploration of jealousy and desire.
08/07/04
Beguiling and surprising.
04/14/06
Top CriticA final big 'twist,' which should be no surprise..., sets everything to right again, a case of French marital therapy by way of the Red Shoe Diaries.
07/04/05
Exceptional performances and the oh-so-Frenchness of the complications produce an erotic tale that plays like the best gossipy story you ever heard about people you thought you knew.
04/14/06
French sexual politics may not resonate with American sensibilities
