Top CriticAs with so many pop moments a quarter-century on, what once looked sexy now smells a little sexist.
02/22/08
Top CriticDiva, as a lifestyle, a fantasy, a model for alienation and solipsism and eccentricity, has gone deep into all of us.
01/24/08
Top CriticA light-headed, fleet-footed French caper, Jean-Jacques Beineix's ultra-stylish Diva stormed the art houses when it was released in 1982, and it's still a lot of fun now -- though its hip patina feels more quaint these days than cool.

Top CriticI still loved every minute of it.
12/07/07
Top CriticMade with wit and humor, this French stunner abounds in the go-for-broke spirit of a first film made by a talented, nervy director.
11/30/07
Top CriticThis is style as a force of nature.
11/03/07
Top CriticIt's a supremely gorgeous and supremely shallow motion picture, but it believes in art with a capital A. And practically nobody does anymore.
11/01/07
Top CriticAny film with this much stylistic assurance is impossible to fully resist.
10/31/07
Top CriticThe novel touches, bizarre chases and plot twists, breathtaking camerawork by Philippe Rousselot and tension-filled editing, make Diva a superior piece of entertainment.
10/31/07
Top CriticHalf a century later, a glut of über-groovy meta-thrillers has blunted the novelty of Diva, but its gamboling flair is still a kick.
10/31/07
Top CriticHere is a director taking audacious chances, doing wild and unpredictable things with his camera and actors, just to celebrate moviemaking.
