Here are review links for this film submitted by our members:
- Jason Bailey @ Flavorwire
- Excerpt: What’s fascinating about ‘The New Girlfriend’ is how Ozon, perhaps not entirely purposely, addresses a very timely issue, yet he does it within the framework of his usual style and preoccupations—and shortchanges neither.
- Chris Barsanti @ PopMatters
- Excerpt: In François Ozon’s latest, the ostensible perversion of crossdressing is the basis of a comic melodrama about repressed and mixed-up desires.
- David Bax @ Battleship Pretension
- Excerpt: Ozon is unable to strike the balance between the two modes into which most of his films fall – the intensely psychological and the prankish but classicalist melodrama.
- Nicholas Bell @ IONCINEMA.com
- Excerpt: It’s great to see Ozon return to the insidious playfulness that’s marked some of his greatest achievements. The New Girlfriend is creepy, weird, and a lot of fun.
- Mark Dujsik @ Mark Reviews Movies
- Excerpt: What is surprising is how conventionally the screenplay begins to wrap up this story and how blatantly manipulative its methods are in order to do so.
- James Jay Edwards @ FilmFracture
- Panagiotis (Pete) Gkaris @ www.moviesltd.gr [Greek]
- Hugo Gomes @ Cinematograficamente Falando … [Portuguese]
- Andrew Wyatt @ St. Louis Magazine
- Excerpt: Although The New Girlfriend is a standard coming out drama in its broad strokes, Ozon and his performers find enough cockeyed angles in the material to create a faintly mischievous and discomfiting film.
