The Patriot Ledger

It leaves you spent, depressed and intensely afraid of the future. In some ways that's admirable, but like our fallible bodies, it gets old - fast.

Las Vegas CityLife

Haneke has created a gift for both audiences and the two legendary actors cast in the lead roles.

Movies With Butter

In a film that's so explicitly cathartic for the filmmaker, there's a whole lotta catharsis withheld for the audience.

While [director Michael] Haneke's love of long takes invite you to stare into the corrugated faces of Georges and Anne as their worlds change, there is a leaden quality to many stretches of the film that assume a profundity that simply isn't there.

The Popcorn Junkie

Powerful piece of cinema that forces us to confront death and something even worse; the prospect of outliving the love of one's life

This beautifully-handled, deeply devastating work is all about the most human issue of all: we're all headed for the scrap-heap.

Rarely has this subject matter been depicted so realistically, so honestly. You always know where the story is heading but it's still tough to watch.

Cinema Autopsy

The scenario is upsetting, but the execution is genuine and pure, making Amour a film of heartbreaking beauty and Haneke's masterpiece.

Looking Closer

Amour will now rate highly on a list of my favorite horror movies. It's certainly upsetting. But that is its strength.

At the Movies (Australia)

This is a profound look at love about a couple who have lived with each other for so many years, know each other so well and this terrible thing that is facing them and there's a serenity there which makes it even more moving, I think.

Margaret Pomeranz
At the Movies (Australia)

It's Haneke's searing honesty and lack of sentimentality, and his talent as a writer-filmmaker that lifts this film to the heights of achievement. I know that the storyline may sound gloomy, the film is not. It is beyond wonderful.

Jake Wilson
The Age (Australia)

Ultimately, the title of the film demands to be taken as a question: is this truly what love looks like? A little smugly, Haneke refuses to answer.

A multiple award winner at film festivals around the globe, and it is easy to see why. Highly recommended.

Michael Haneke's most intimate and painfully truthful film - an exploration of what love means at the far end of life.

Tampa Bay Times

This is a movie almost too painful to watch at times, yet so masterfully composed and acted - Riva absolutely deserves her Oscar nomination, while Trintignant was robbed - that it's impossible to turn away.

Georges' irreversible decision may be courageous, but it requires no sacrifice on the part of his creator: for Haneke, it's business as usual.

Trintignant and Riva are unforgettably brilliant as the aging couple we can all identify with.

The Sunday Age

Haneke's startling film stands in stark contrast with other recent, comedic fare that seemingly addresses similar issues.

Urban Cinefile

My review is categorized as 'favourable' not because I enjoyed the film (that's not Michael Haneke's intent) but because I recognise what he is trying to say and that he says it with a unique cinematic voice
