John Bleasdale Sight & Sound Dec 31, 2025
Quentin Dupieux’s latest film is a touch more conventional than his usual absurdist offerings, but maintains a sharp, funny meta-commentary on the divisions between audience and artist. Go to Full Review Simon Abrams RogerEbert.com Apr 5, 2024
3/4
Dupieux’s latest will either annoy or charm you depending on how much you appreciate being led around by the nose by a filmmaker and a cast of characters who seem pretty committed to jerking you around. Go to Full Review Elisabeth Vincentelli New York Times Apr 4, 2024
Dupieux’s fans will be happy to know that his surreal humor is gloriously intact, while newcomers might find in this movie a gateway into one of contemporary cinema’s most idiosyncratic universes. Go to Full Review Martin Kudlac ScreenAnarchy May 23, 2024
Another comic treat ... acts as a cinematic revival of the once-dominant French theatre of the absurd ... channeled through a lens of folk comedy ... offering a satire attuned to the nuances of today's polarized society and radicalized individuals.

8/10
Yannick begins as a comedy of manners, only to escalate into something with a tinge of darkness lurking beneath what sits as a farce about actors and theater. Go to Full Review Andy Crump Paste Magazine Apr 15, 2024
8.1/10
Yannick finds Dupieux looking unexpectedly inward and demonstrating a vulnerability that’s absent elsewhere in his body of work — but not at the expense of either his tongue-firmly-in-cheek outlook, or his predilection for self-destruction. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

ELB E. @Mulholland Jul 13, 2025 Dupieux is the Ionesco of our era. See more Oleksii V @ole665 May 15, 2024 again simple sight of the art inside itself with realistic absurd or unrealistic truth See more Petros T @PetrosTserpelis Apr 8, 2024 Armed with a brief runtime, snappy pacing, an amusing premise, some good acting (especially by Raphaël Quenard and Pio Marmaï) and good humour, "Yannick" is pleasant, occasionally hilarious, rather ridiculous and a breeze to sit through. The restricted setting is handled well even if it's hard to believe that the entire play is run by the three actors without any crew people whatsoever, and the meta commentary on art is interesting even if it doesn't go particularly deep and doesn't end in much. See more Martin R @RT65514188 Mar 8, 2024 Hilariously unsettling, a lot works thanks to Quenard's performance. What will leave you scratching your head though is why it ends so quickly while it feels like there was much more to explore. See more Jan 23, 2024 I guess I can’t appreciate it, or it is indeed boring. See more Read all reviews
