It sounds farcical, but it's also a serious work from the writer-director Olivier Assayas and his key performers that interrogates the nature of literary value today through the words of uncommonly rounded and deeply appealing characters. October 18, 2019 | Rating: 4/5 | Full Review…

Olivier Assayas is treading water with this amiable but self-indulgent and finally negligible movie about intrigue and adulterous goings-on in the publishing world of Paris. October 16, 2019 | Rating: 2/5 | Full Review…

It's maybe not going to sit near the top of the director's canon, but it's a nice addition to it. October 14, 2019 | Rating: 3/5 | Full Review…

Writer-director Olivier Assayas goes looking for one real thing amid a group of French sophisticates who deal in artifice, both as a way of making a living and (with one possible exception) as a way of life. June 8, 2019 | Rating: 3/5 | Full Review…

In barely disguised code, "Non-Fiction" operates as a wry analysis of Assayas' chosen profession as filmmaker. May 30, 2019 | Rating: 3/4 | Full Review…

The cast finesses Assayas's thickets of talk and double-talk with ease, but it's Binoche who's the heart of "Non-Fiction." May 24, 2019 | Rating: 3/4 | Full Review…

A parody of bourgeois French cinema, and the focus on the comically transparent autofictions of the hapless writer, Léonard, mimicked classic Woody Allen - not in a good way. December 4, 2019 | Rating: 2/5 | Full Review…

The performances are impeccable, but it's the brilliance of Olivier Assayas's writing and control of the increasingly witty tone that makes this a cine-literary gem. October 25, 2019 | Rating: 4/5 | Full Review…
