Well-acted and sharply written, Non-Fiction finds writer-director Olivier Assayas working in a comedic vein that channels classic forebears while remaining utterly fresh.

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…

[T]he film gradually reveals itself to be a both a sly take-down of such intellectual and ideological posturing and a funny celebration of the very human foibles for which such behaviour is often a cover. October 23, 2019 | Rating: 4/5 | Full Review…

Guillaume Canet's dapper publisher is cheating on his TV-star wife; she has an affair with a self-absorbed novelist. And all of this is described with shrewdness and mild wit. October 20, 2019 | Rating: 3/5 | Full Review…

Non-Fiction is a sharp, urbane and often terrifically witty drama... It's a departure for Olivier Assayas, but not as much of one as it first appears. October 19, 2019 | Rating: 4 | Full Review…

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…
