| Vanity FairK. Austin CollinsHuppert, whose sharpness lends itself beautifully to ironic humor, is more than game. Mrs. Hyde is, among other things, a comedy of enlightenment—literal enlightenment, if the gold sparks coursing through Géquil’s body are any indication. Perhaps its greatest lesson isn’t within the movie, but rather the fact of it: rather than revise a stale genre, burn it anew. |
| El Pais (Spain)Jordi CostaBozon has always been fond of the vivacity of classic cinema - he development of a film of sparkling calligraphy, where treasonous camera movements top off some scenes with the kinetic energy of a slapstick's own slip. [Full Review in Spanish] |
| SensacineCarlos LosillaBozon's film does what other films believe and do not really do: It gives an account the passing of time, of the prevailing tedium, of the frustrations and desires of a mature woman. [Full Review in Spanish] |
| Cinemanía (Spain)Daniel de Partearroyo[The film's writerst] are not afraid to mix genres...That singularity makes Madame Hyde refreshing despite rekindling such vague concepts as Stevenson's novel about duality or the French subgenre of suburban educational dramas. [Full review in Spanish] |
| IndieWireEric KohnIt’s a fascinating role in an uneven but frequently insightful movie riddled with amusing asides and enigmatic developments, partly because Huppert doesn’t undergo a radical transformation. Instead, she subtly finds herself at war with her inner confidence, and it’s often hard to tell which side has the upper hand. |
| The Film StageRory O'ConnorThere is much to savor in this beautifully-crafted movie. |
| The New YorkerRichard BrodySerge Bozon’s sharply political comedy—a giddily imaginative reworking of Robert Louis Stevenson’s classic tale—stars Isabelle Huppert, who revels in its sly blend of dissonant humor, intellectual fervor, and macabre violence. |
| The Hollywood ReporterBoyd van HoeijEccentric and occasionally hilarious, this is yet another uniquely Bozonian creation, which this time explores the transmission of ideas between teachers and students and the tricky notion that our good side might not necessarily be our best side after all. |
| Los Angeles TimesJustin ChangAmong the movie’s more disquieting pleasures is the sight of this peerless actor — known for her ability to project an air of casual, chilly mastery over any situation — wilting under the mockery of her character’s unruly students, who treat her with only slightly more contempt than her colleagues do. |
| Slant MagazineJames LattimerIt's hard to keep up with all the competing elements that Mrs. Hyde throws into the mix. |
