This film chronicles the professional and emotional cross-currents between two romantically entwined theater actors. Louis is an impoverished actor who struggles to find roles for himself and his actress girlfriend Claudia, whom he believes could be a star. The two struggle with jealousy, fidelity, and the temptation to give up art for an easier life.
Village Voice by Alan Scherstuhl
Vital and vigorous even when its characters feel scraped of vigor/vitality, Philippe Garrel's latest finds boho Parisians facing the ends of marriages, affairs, and the feasibility of bohemian existence itself.
The Hollywood Reporter by Boyd van Hoeij
Never a full-on character piece or even an exploration of the titular sentiment, Jealousy instead offers moments of quiet tragedy in some seemingly innocent throwaway moments
Time Out London by Dave Calhoun
It’s a film that moves to the convincing rhythm of real life.
New York Post by Farran Smith Nehme
Jealousy has a quiet melancholy that’s very pleasing.
New York Daily News by Joe Neumaier
Quiet moments after big decisions are where the power lies in this absorbing French drama.
The acting throughout is supremely naturalistic, and the social milieu of both family life and the theatre are carefully observed and lightly rendered.
In comparison with near-impenetrable Garrel efforts like "Regular Lovers" (2005) and "Frontier of the Dawn" (2008), Jealousy cuts straight to the heart.
More tightly scripted than Garrel’s usual rambles, the comedy-drama also has an unexpected emotional warmth.
There isn’t much to it, really, but a little truth and loveliness is always welcome.
Slant Magazine by Nick McCarthy
Like an astutely aching ballad, the film—aptly scored with sweet, strumming beats by Jean-Louis Aubert—is pleased to ambiguously infer the interior logic of its irresolute characters without pigeonholing their motivations.
