Baltimore Sun by Chris Kaltenbach
There's no denying the raw emotional power of this heart-rending story.
Christian Science Monitor by David Sterritt
Färberböck has directed the story with a canny blend of liveliness and taste.
Philadelphia Inquirer by Desmond Ryan
A standout.
A sophisticated and beautiful feature debut.
San Francisco Examiner by G. Allen Johnson
A guilty pleasure and one of the best films of the year.
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.
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.
