A fans- and detractors-only affair. At its worst, it feels like a highbrow transgressive-celebrity-cameo skit.

Hilarious, full of humor that is understated, wry and dependent on familiarity with interests as wide as Houellebecq's own.

At first, the movie is offbeat enough to be entertaining anyway; but like the title character, it quickly outstays its welcome.
March 25, 2015 | Rating: 2.5/5 | Full Review… -
This is pretty much the opposite of a contemporary American comedy: rather than broad, "The Kidnapping of Michel Houllebecq" is an exemplary example of narrow.

The Houellebecq we see on screen is obviously rooted as much in fiction as in fact, yet what makes his performance so fascinating is the mischievous glee he takes in sending up his own persona.
