Like an old Hollywood star vehicle, this French import does its job, providing its lead actress with compelling emotional circumstances and its audience with arresting contexts through which to perceive her. Apr 23, 2004 | Rating: 3/4 | Full Review…

It all does come down to Huppert with this film, to the moods, emotional states and character moments she can create, to the delicate magic she can work on screen. Apr 15, 2004 | Rating: 3/5

The Promised Life is not particularly original either in conception or execution, but it still manages to be interesting and stylish enough to get the better of its cliches. Apr 16, 2004 | Rating: 3/5 | Full Review…
