The Sitting Duck

"[Huppert] is a genuinely singular talent in modern European cinema, and her ability to take a role like this and infuse it with stillness and subterranean complexities is nothing less than mesmerising (...) Rating: ★★★★ (out of 5)" 

"A strong enough story and a lead actress as good as Isabelle Huppert" 

"Crass adaptation of a shocking true story (...) Rating: ★★ (out of 5)" 

"Isabelle Huppert keeps this patchy potboiler bubbling as a real-life whistleblower (...) Rating: ★★★ (out of 5)" 

"Both the book and the film induce shivers by exposing the gross misogyny of so-called respectable establishment figures (...) Rating: ★★★★ (out of 5)" 

"A political thriller that tells the story matter-of-factly, and is perhaps a little lacking in the pace department. But Isabelle Huppert carries it along with a performance every bit as gripping as you'd expect (...) Rating: ★★★ (out of 5)" 

"Huppert (...) embodies this unassuming heroism so effectively that you hardly notice that a much bigger story has been allowed to become a blur"
