Entertainment Weekly by Lisa Schwarzbaum
Färberböck's sensual adaptation is a matter of fact embrace of the unconventional and dangerous during a terrible time.

Austin Chronicle by Marc Savlov
That Aimée & Jaguar manages so well in triple duty as a wartime melodrama with a lesbian twist is remarkable.
75
Chicago Sun-Times by Roger Ebert
This is the kind of story that has to be true; as fiction, it would not be believable.

Washington Post by Stephen Hunter
A surprisingly lush, well-produced film.
