	Media	Author	Review
		Jordan Mintzer The Hollywood Reporter	"Probably Maïwenn’s most Maïwenn-esque movie thus far (...) Fans of her oeuvre will thus find much to love here"
		Guy Lodge Variety	"Despite [Maïwenn's] plainly impassioned investment in the project, and some intense, raucously entertaining scenes of intimate warfare along the way, 'DNA' becomes less engaging as its focus narrows"
		M.N. Miller Ready Steady Cut	"Quiet and thoughtful (...) It’s a relaxed, contemplative style that is honest and at times, moving (…) Rating: ★★★½ (out of 5)"
		Fabien Lemercier Cineuropa	"Maïwenn returns to her roots by transferring the abundant energy which flows through her films into an intimate, accurate and moving work"
		Lisa Nesselson Screendaily	"While peppered with sometimes funny, sometimes touching details, the screenplay by Maïwenn with Mathieu Demy assumes too much about what people outside this screwed-up clan might find consistently engaging"
		John Serba Decider	"There’s enough distinguished and thoughtful drama in 'DNA' to recommend it despite its shortcomings."
