	Author	Review
United States	Peter Debruge Variety	"[Marion Cotillard gives] an unconvincing white-trash performance in this frustrating French drama (...) There’s far too much manipulation involved"	NEG
United States	Boyd van Hoeij The Hollywood Reporter	"[Filho doesn't provide] any kind of emotional insight or backstory (...) [Cotillard] has a hypnotic quality that will make you follow her character whatever she says or does"	NEU
United Kingdom	Xan Brooks The Guardian	"Daytime-telly-inspired film-making (...) 'Angel Face' lacks shading, pacing and nuance (…) Rating: ★★ (out of 5)"	NEG
United States	David Ehrlich IndieWire	"A tedious melodrama (...) Marlene, a flailing single mother played by a wobbly, one-note Marion Cotillard, is not an interesting character."	NEG
United Kingdom	Lisa Nesselson Screendaily	"The entire cast does their best with borderline hackneyed material, and the proceedings are nicely shot by ace DP Guillaume Schiffman."	NEU
United States	Sharon Waxman The Wrap	"A hauntingly intense Ayline Aksoy-Etaix plays Elli (...) Vanessa Filho has some deeply harsh things to say about motherhood"	POS
