	Author	Review
United Kingdom	Jonathan Romney Screendaily	"Cannily crafted and enjoyable meta investigation of today's image culture and early cinema (...) He hasn't aimed for addictive speediness, choosing to offer extended sections focusing on individual characters"	POS
United States	Rodrigo Perez The Playlist	"A sometimes campy, sometimes vampy, sometimes meta-intellectual exercise that manages to be both fascinating and thrilling"	POS
United States	Daniel Fienberg The Hollywood Reporter	"'Irma Vep' doesn't yet feel like it's prepared to commit to lampooning or lionizing television. I'm curious to watch more, and even more interested to have Assayas return to variations on this story every few years"	NEU
United States	Daniel D'Addario Variety	"'Irma Vep' is shrewd industry commentary, anchored by Alicia Vikander"	POS
United States	David Cote AV Club	"Irma Vep is ridiculously meta and enjoyable (...) A remake of a film about remaking a film, Olivier Assayas' Paris-set limited series is stylish and addictive"	POS
United States	Max Covill Paste Magazine	"It’s still the story of a film crew trying to adapt the 1915 serial film 'The Vampires' for a modern era, but there are plenty of new wrinkles to the proceedings that help this series surpass the original"	POS
