Movie Reviews

  • there's no real voice in the storytelling, nothing distinctive about the imagery, if it's not a doubling up on the violence and gore, and the result doesn't remotely resonate in the same way
    by Jordan Mintzer [The Hollywood Reporter ]
  • Michael Noer's turned out a fine film in its own right, and political developments in the decades since the last adaptation have even lent the script a newfound significance
    3 of 5 by Charles Bramesco [The Guardian ]
  • Michael Noer's remake of Steve McQueen and Dustin Hoffman's classic "Papillon" is as [not] good as the original; Noer's "Papillon", crassly reconfigures the story into a cliche of something with contemporary commercial viability
    Review rate : D by Kevin Jagernauth [The Playlist ]
  • Danish director Michael Noer's remake is a humbler enterprise, although still ambitious and impressive enough; what matters most is that the principally unchanged story of survival in colonial French Guiana remains a compelling one
    by Dennis Harvey [Variety ]
  • arguments remain as to whether this survival story needed a retelling, but there is a case to be made for Noer's take being less bloated and more true to Charriere's book
    3 of 5 by Eddie Harrison [The List Film (UK) ]
