Femme de Gilles, La movie stills
Reviews provided by RottenTomatoes
Michael Wilmington, Chicago Tribune: Like those '30 classics it suggests, Gilles' Wife seduces us with true cinematic magic: rich characters, great acting and that rapturous old French blend of realism and theatricality. Read more
Andrew Sarris, New York Observer: Elisa remains strangely silent, in a mute display of masochism that is guaranteed to make contemporary hard-core feminists grind their teeth in furious frustration. Read more
Robert Abele, Los Angeles Times: Read more
Terry Lawson, Detroit Free Press: Easy to fall into, courtesy of the inviting, autumnal cinematography of Virginie Saint-Martin and the persuasive, committed and sensual performance of the title character, played by Emmanuelle Devos. Read more
Ella Taylor, L.A. Weekly: Were Hitchcock alive, he'd surely claim the ripe and faintly sinister Devos as his muse. Read more
Jami Bernard, New York Daily News: This is a lyrical art movie with admittedly limited commercial appeal, but worth seeing for cinematic explorers. Read more
Manohla Dargis, New York Times: The fascinating French actress Emmanuelle Devos stars as a woman in 1930's France who discovers her husband has developed a passion for another woman. Read more
Roger Moore, Orlando Sentinel: Gilles' Wife is a disquieting film of frustrating subtlety. But Devos is a compelling presence at the heart of it. She, and the scenery that is her backdrop, make it worth the three espressos you'll need to drink to stay awake through it all. Read more
Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times: I was fascinated by the face of Emmanuelle Devos, and her face is specifically why I recommend the movie. Read more

David Ng, Village Voice: Devos's performance is an expert workshop of internalized emotions and silent forbearance. Read more
