Eva

IndieWire by David Ehrlich

For a film with so few secrets of its own to hide, Eva also offers little to see on the surface.

The Film Stage by Ed Frankl

Benoit Jacquot’s preposterous erotic thriller is rarely erotic and never thrills.

Variety by Guy Lodge

Eva begins as hot buttered nonsense of the least resistible variety before, echoing the writer’s block that propels its daft narrative, it runs drily out of ideas.

Screen International by Jonathan Romney

Jacquot at his best is a master at teasing us with tantalising narrative mazes and false threads, but here we soon find ourselves losing interest in the riddle of where things are headed: the film takes what feels like a very circuitous route to a dead end.

The Hollywood Reporter by Jordan Mintzer

Jacquot has a hard time turning all of this into palpable drama, and Eva slides off the rails during a denouement that goes full on B-movie without much credibility.
