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.

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. Oct 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. Oct 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. Oct 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. Jun 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 nicely executed farce with, as an added bonus, the sight of Juliette Binoche's actress character starring in a TV cop drama. Oct 21, 2019 | Rating: 4/5 | Full Review…

Without a central plot, the film swirls around conversations between five main characters whose lives are engagingly intertwined. Oct 21, 2019 | Rating: 3.5/5 | 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. Oct 20, 2019 | Rating: 3/5 | Full Review…

On balance, writer and director Assayas just about pulls it off: the film is uneven, certainly, but the fascinating, flawed characters reel us in. Oct 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. Oct 19, 2019 | Rating: 4 | Full Review…

Though Assayas's dialogue is so sharp and is delivered so entertainingly by his actors that the subject never becomes dry, the characters' entangled love lives certainly help the pill go down... Oct 18, 2019 | Rating: 5/5 | Full Review…
