The Divide

"As originally conceived, the movie might be too much — 90-odd minutes of screaming and wailing, pain and self-pity — to the extent that even art-house-goers will need a morphine drip to get through it." 

"The film can be both entertaining and surprisingly funny, especially if you’re familiar with France’s politics and current economic woes" 

"A kind of screwball comedy full of physical gags, rat-a-tat dialogue and intricate choreography that veers towards a weightier third act while offering plenty of belly laughs along the way" 

"A tiresome frustration of a film whose advocacy for across-the-aisle bonding rings false and flimsy, even in its most pleasant moments." 

"[It] is painful, funny, and an experience you'll absolutely beg to end" 

"It aims to do little more than offer diagnoses of various ailments afflicting France. The characters are caricatures, written as mouthpieces to raise particular issues. That is all fine as far as it goes. But it's not the kind of film that travels well" 

"Fast-moving drama is peppered with some zinging dark humor (...) The film’s tone ranges between the frantic and the farcical but, its depicted absurdities aside, it’s not an outright comedy"
