Gary Goldstein Los Angeles Times 03/03/2016
An overheated but haunting, strangely involving tale inspired by the doomed romance between real-life aristocratic French siblings circa 1600. Go to Full Review Glenn Kenny New York Times 02/26/2016
The excruciating experience of "Marguerite & Julien" need only be endured by viewers with an obsessive interest in the least constructive aesthetic currents in contemporary French cinema. Go to Full Review Susan Wloszczyna RogerEbert.com 02/26/2016
1.5/4

It's just downright odd and doesn't work. Go to Full Review Benjamin Mercer Brooklyn Magazine 11/29/2016
