	Author	Review
United States	Jessica Kiang Variety	"Glossy but bafflingly old-fashioned (...) 'Madame' is less a baroque masterpiece than a subpar reproduction in a gaudy frame (...) There are passing pleasures to be had"	NEU
United States	Frank Scheck The Hollywood Reporter	"De Palma nearly manages to save the pic (...) The Cinderella-like premise proves engaging at first, but director/co-screenwriter Sthers fails to develop it in sufficiently amusing or provocative fashion."	NEU
United Kingdom	Sarah Ward Screendaily	"When the film works, it’s a slice of undemanding fluff (...) [It] serves up a smattering of intermittent laughs"	NEU
United Kingdom	Peter Bradshaw The Guardian	"It’s all a bit negligible and the satire is fundamentally conservative, yet Rossy De Palma does carry off her role with flair (…) Rating: ★★ (out of 5)"	NEU
Australia	Leigh Paatsch Herald Sun	"A movie that can sometimes turn tolerable (thanks to the unconventionally endearing de Palma, a gem who deserved better than this) just when it’s getting terrible."	NEU
Australia	Louise Keller Urbancinefile	"The premise is fun and the Paris setting gorgeous, yet this would be Cinderella story with a twist prickles with contrivance."	NEU
