"Mathieu Amalric's adaptation of Georges Simenon's mystery novel honors the text, but misses the atmosphere."

—

Variety

"It's a phenomenally executed exercise that, like its protagonist's memory, is too wispy for its own good."

—

Time Out

"Thank heaven for French movies like Mathieu Amalric's The Blue Room, which compactly addresses the ecstasies and occasionally dangerous consequences of intimate contact."

—

Time Magazine

"Takes a cue from both classic Hollywood noir and the time-shuffling narratives of the late Alain Resnais, telling a familiar story in ways that can feel compellingly new."
