- 80The GuardianPeter BradshawThe GuardianPeter BradshawThere is such tenderness and gentleness in this film.
- 80TheWrapSteve PondTheWrapSteve PondSharp and warm ... It reaffirms a distinctive cinematic voice who might be going back to his greatest hits, but has brought something new to them.
- 67IndieWireDavid EhrlichIndieWireDavid EhrlichNone of this movie feels amateurish or unmotivated, but virtually everything on the periphery of its main plot manages to detract from what’s going on between Matthias and Maxime.
- 60The TelegraphRobbie CollinThe TelegraphRobbie CollinA slight but necessary palate-cleanser, as crisp and tangy-sweet as raspberry sorbet, and Dolan’s most conventional and accessible work to date.
- 58The Film StageLeonardo GoiThe Film StageLeonardo GoiMatthias & Maxime lacks the raw, blazing energy Dolan can excel at.
- 50The Hollywood ReporterJon FroschThe Hollywood ReporterJon FroschThere’s nothing glaringly wrong with the new movie. ... What’s missing is the blazing urgency.
- 40Screen DailyTim GriersonScreen DailyTim GriersonOn occasion, the sincerity and unabashed emotion can be bracing, but more often this rambunctiously enthusiastic writer-director overestimates how compelling his protagonists’ plight is, giving us a florid melodrama without enough grit underneath the operatics.
