"Frantz" offers a sympathetic, if dark, look at the awful wake of war, at the cost of institutional violence, as well as the cost of surviving. June 2, 2017 | Rating: B | Full Review…

François Ozon is a master at taking apart the French chattering classes, but here he attempts an almost classical piece of film-making in black and white, French and German, a tangled tale of love and friendship. May 12, 2017 | Rating: 4/5 | Full Review…

A much needed but underwhelming ode to pacifism and the futility of war. May 12, 2017 | Rating: 3/5 | Full Review…

Ozon wants to add another layer of perspective, to place Frantz's death in yet another context. Instead, the film's second half makes the first look strategic-a means to an end-serving less to countervail or complement than to cancel it out. May 4, 2017 | Full Review…

There's a sense of quiet introspection reminiscent of Ozon's collaborations with Charlotte Rampling, The Swimming Pool and Under the Sand -- arguably his best films. April 12, 2017 | Rating: 4/5 | Full Review…

For Ozon, Frantz is an intriguing change of pace, a period piece in another language, and with straightforward but evident depth... But you'll be hard pressed to remember much about it beyond the stirring presence of Paula Beer. October 2, 2019 | Rating: 3/5 | Full Review…

Frantz swings the audience constantly between hope and despair for its characters thanks to a combination of winning performances, clever plotting, and stunning visuals. It's a pleasure to watch from beginning to end. March 5, 2019 | Rating: 4/5 | Full Review…

The film does not continue in a conventional trajectory. It becomes Anna's story of self-discovery and will to live. It's haunting. November 3, 2018 | Rating: 4/5 | Full Review…
