What to Know

Critics Consensus

From the Land of the Moon benefits from striking visuals and strong work from Marion Cotillard, but they're both ultimately overcome by a story that drifts into wan melodrama.

Almost laughable in its broad, empty portrayal of sexual desire. Go to Full Review Alan Zilberman Washington Post 08/03/2017

Moments of visual beauty only call attention to the stilted dialogue and maudlin plot that otherwise define the film. Go to Full Review Sheri Linden Los Angeles Times 08/02/2017
Garcia never gets a grasp on her protagonist's contradictions, or those of her story - certainly not enough to pull off the movie's jaw-dropper of a twist. Go to Full Review Marya E. Gates Cool People Have Feelings, Too. (Substack) 02/12/2024
It’s melodramatic to the hilt, but it pulled me in and made me sob like a baby by the end. Go to Full Review Jorge Ignacio Castillo Planet S Magazine 02/05/2020

From the Land of the Moon is not without merit -Cotillard's expressive face is compulsively watchable- but be prepared for some significant suspension of disbelief. Go to Full Review Nicholas Bell IONCINEMA.com 10/10/2019
1/5
Cotillard's emotional energy is wasted in Garcia's capably directed romantic drama, which is visually polished by Christophe Beaucarne, though his glossy frames actually create an accidental desolation in the film's jagged void of unlikely drama. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

09/21/2018 The drama & romance film potrays Gabrielle who is not in the best stable condition. I wish that the end was different but it is what it is. As always i admired Marion Cotillard's acting. See more 09/07/2018 guilty of loving this film... and all the characters therein. ah !... and what a twist in the finale. captured from start to finish. dare i say it... i could watch it again. Typical French movie. See more 03/17/2018 This film is a brilliant exploration of the fragility of the human mind and the redemptive power of patient love. Based on the negative reviews here, it appears that many have experienced it on a very superficial level (i.e., the sex is not the focus despite its explicit portrayal). Those who take issue with the plot twist at the end must believe that intense self-delusion is not possible. This will come as quite a shock to those who have spent their lives studying multiple personality disorder. See more 03/12/2018 marion give beautiful performance,and movie is beautiful See more 02/03/2018 I actually love this film very much, the ending is quite shocking, but also make it real and great. The power of imagination and conflict to reality, I think only women can really understanding it.... Great performance by Marion and Beautiful music "June" See more 12/03/2017 Exquisite. Absolutely loved every minute. See more Read all reviews
