Leave your thoughts about Francine.
| Chicago Sun-TimesRoger EbertMelissa Leo plays her without inflection, giving us no instructions about what our opinion should be. It is a brave performance, an act of empathy with a sad woman. |
| Chicago ReaderBen SachsBrian M. Cassidy and Melanie Shatzky, documentary makers trying their hand at drama, inspire a certain voyeuristic fascination toward the character but rarely sympathy. |
| Time OutKeith UhlichThe movie might very well have come off as a too-clinical experiment if it weren't for Leo, who maintains a rivetingly mysterious aura even as her character's behavior becomes increasingly bizarre. |
| The New York TimesStephen HoldenA small gem of bleak, neorealist portraiture. |
| Seattle TimesMoira MacDonaldWhile it's audacious on the part of the filmmakers (and of Leo) to keep Francine at arm's length from us, it makes the film a frustrating experience. |
| IndiewireEric KohnWhile Francine distinguishes itself with atmospheric strangeness, Cassidy and Shatzky never create a satisfying whole. |
| The Hollywood ReporterDavid RooneyA minimalist, image-based character study that is almost impossibly fragile and yet emotionally robust, Francine is a legitimate discovery. |
| VarietyJustin ChangA glum but tenderly observed micro-portrait of a woman struggling to re-enter society after being released from prison. |
| ReelTalk Movie ReviewsDonald J. LevitPetered out the perhaps promise of a psychological study or horror flick, halfway through 'Francine' nothing is left. |
| Shockya.comBrent SimonCaught up in its own self-satisfied metaphor, its blank canvas and broadly sketched melancholic tones an empty vessel for those who would automatically turn the personal into the political. |
