	Author	Review
United States	Jordan Mintzer The Hollywood Reporter	"A film that does a good job painting a broad picture of two major figures in art and literature but fails to depict them with any credible detail."	NEU
United States	Stephen Holden The New York Times	"Mr. Gallienne, who dominates the film, gives an electrifying portrait of Cézanne (...) 'Cézanne et Moi' offers a pungent, demystifying portrait of the rowdy late-19th-century Parisian art world"	POS
United States	Peter Debruge Variety	"An innocuous and ultimately uninteresting look at the lifelong friendship between a pair of world-changing artists"	NEG
United States	Susan Wloszczyna rogerebert.com	"Cinematographer Jean-Marie Dreujou magnificently manages to engage every sense (...) as his camera absorbs the familiar Aix-en-Provence subjects of Cézanne’s canvases (…) Rating: ★★★ (out of 4)"	POS
United States	Mike D'Angelo AV Club	"[It] labors even more tediously than most to accommodate personal details, whether or not those details serve the narrative."	NEG
United States	Keith Watson Slant	"The film barely even scratches the surface of the animating force of Cézanne and Zola’s lives: their art (…) Rating: ★½ (out of 4)"	NEG
