Critic Reviews for Malcolm & Marie

All Critics (225) | Top Critics (59) | Fresh (131) | Rotten (94)

  • With its terrific performances, resonating dialogue, and elegant single-setting production, the film compels us to see beyond a couple clamoring across the house and acknowledge that a perpetually underestimated woman has found her voice.

    Candice Frederick

    Elle

  • This is a stunning film with tour-de-force (another phrase Malcolm hates) performances.

    February 20, 2021 | Rating: 4/5 | Full Review…

    Stephen Romei

    The Australian

  • It's one long night observing someone else's relationship meltdown in exhausting and repetitive detail. And in case you wondered, I can confirm that it is not the ideal date night movie.

    Larushka Ivan-Zadeh

    Metro (UK)

  • The message at the core of Malcolm & Marie is facile, vain and undemanding, an attempt to sell a loud, sullen tantrum about artistic work as soulful debate shot on 35 mm film.

    Salon.com

  • I just got bored with the people. I had an emotional block and I never got engaged...a very stylish but ultimately empty performance...

    Mark Kermode

    Kermode & Mayo's Film Review

  • It's exactly what its characters are: occasionally brilliant, often infuriating, mostly - as one of the two describes the other - exhausting.
