- Frederic and Mary Ann Brussat @ SpiritualityandPractice.com
- Excerpt: An eerie and austere film charting the nightmarish response of the French sculptress to her imprisonment in an asylum.
- Laura Clifford @ Reeling Reviews
- Excerpt: Binoche makes the tragedy palpable.
- Mathieu L @ Panorama-cinéma [French]
- Carson Lund @ In Review Online
- Excerpt: With its rigid, organized framing and cool denial of anything one might call pleasure, Dumont’s filmmaking starts to feel like a product of the same strict society his film purports to reject.
- [New – 7/18/14] | Matthew McKernan @ FilmWhinge
- Excerpt: Camille Claudel 1915 feels like a film that will reveal more with further viewings and a deeper familiarity with the filmmaker’s previous work. No bad thing, but it means that some further study is required.
- Pat Mullen @ Cinemablographer
- Excerpt: To watch Juliette Binoche in this role for another twenty-nine years would hardly be boring at all.
- Jonathan Richards @ www.jonrichardsplace.com
- Excerpt: In the asylum run by the nuns at Montdevergues, near Avignon, life is intolerable if you’re an inmate who is reasonably sane. The same can be said of watching this movie.
- Cole Smithey @ ColeSmithey.com
- Excerpt: However unnerving the subject matter, Dumont knows how to guide and utilize Binoche’s vivid performance in the service of the delicate story at hand. A finer portrayal by a film actress you will not find.
- Ron Wilkinson @ ItsJustMovies.com
- Excerpt: A touching, and sad, piece of history and a brilliant performance by Juliette Binoche.
