" Hirokazu Kore-eda riffs on Rashomon in a poignant melodrama about rushing to judgment. "
INDIEWIRE
" If Samuel Beckett had scripted Shaun of the Dead, it might have looked something like this. "
DEADLINE
" From a script written with Audrey Diwan (Happening) that lays the original narrative to rest by offering a radically different outcome, the filmmaker annihilates reality, orchestrating the collision of disparate worlds. It’s if she were mingling an encounter of Demy, Rohmer and Hitchcock with a flamboyant twist of Argento-style giallo, through bursts of colour. "
TELERAMA
" Salem has something of a flavour of Jacques Audiard\'s A Prophet both in its harsh underworld realism and in its hallucinatory touches; cockfighting scenes also bring a bloody hint of Amores Perros. "
SCREEN DAILY
" Ken Loach could hardly have delivered a more resonant, timely or indeed angry swansong than this feature. "
SCREEN DAILY
" Maïwenn is a major filmmaker, and Jeanne du Barry demands to be taken seriously. "
VARIETY
" In my opinion, the very quintessence of bad taste, in all the very best ways. "
