A swirl of gender confusion, "The New Girlfriend" tosses all the he/she/we question marks it can find in a tale of contemporary confused sexuality. October 23, 2015 | Rating: B | Full Review…

It's less than it should've been, and a little mild. But Ozon makes it glide with confidence, in or out of heels. September 24, 2015 | Rating: 2.5/4 | Full Review…

Duris in drag looks like a refugee from the New York Dolls, but his character aspires to nothing more than life as a bourgeois, pearl-clad mom. September 24, 2015 | Full Review…

A wildly entertaining work, one that manages to be simultaneously funny, touching, slightly unnerving and undeniably sexy to behold, regardless of where your predilections may lie. September 18, 2015 | Rating: 4/4 | Full Review…

Although at times amorphously told and genre non-specific - Dark comedy? Soapy drama? DePalma-esque thriller? - the film holds interest as it often defies expectation and juggles its bold, complex emotions. September 17, 2015 | Full Review…

Though its respect for the characters and concluding vision of an unconventional family is admirable, The New Girlfriend is most convincing when simply depicting friendship. May 10, 2019 | Rating: 3/5 | Full Review…

From the opening close-ups of a costumed bride slowly revealed to be an embalmed corpse, The New Girlfriend wants to keep you unbalanced and curious, but like a lot of Ozon films, it never quite gets out of its own head. April 17, 2019 | Rating: 3/5 | Full Review…

In The New Girlfriend, viewers are given a piece that walks the tightrope between drama and comedy, thriller and thinkpiece. This is a film that artfully ponders the process of grief while also finding rebirth from within. April 5, 2019 | Rating: 4/5 | Full Review…

The film devolves into a slightly timid exercise in kitsch; it's the sort of thing Pedro Almodóvar would do a lot more convincingly. November 5, 2018 | Rating: 2/5 | Full Review…

The New Girlfriend is perhaps best experienced as variations on a theme, rather than an organically developed story; I just wish that were the experience Ozon had intended. October 5, 2018 | Rating: C | Full Review…

The political dynamic that would have made the film simply topical turns into a psychological dynamic that makes the film and its relationships more complicated and unpredictable. August 29, 2018 | Full Review…
