	Author	Review
United States	A. O. Scott The New York Times	"Ms. Binoche is the film's primary and sufficient source of light. The radiance is all hers. The clouds, too."	POS
United States	Richard Brody The New Yorker	"A simple story of enormous complexity (...) A peculiarly insightful glimpse into the emotional fluidity within the formal boundaries of French culture."	POS
United States	David Ehrlich IndieWire	"If 'Bright Sunshine In' doesn’t know where to look for the light, it certainly has a good bit of fun scrambling about in the darkness."	NEU
United States	Ann Hornaday The Washington Post	"It's Binoche, here delivering one of her finest and most subtly calibrated performances, who imbues Isabelle with the heart (...) that makes her far more appealing (...) than the pathetic figure she might have been (…) Rating: ★★★ (out of 4)"	POS
United States	Jordan Mintzer The Hollywood Reporter	"[It] can be funny, rather light on its feet, yet incredibly perceptive about the very complicated lives and relationships we lead, especially when they involve members of the opposite sex."	POS
United States	Bradley Warren The Playlist	"An unprecedented misfire from Claire Denis (...) Hopefully with her next effort, Denis takes her time, and focuses more on the image than the words."	NEG
United States	Guy Lodge Variety	"Claire Denis's delightful foray into romantic kinda-comedy retains all the director's signature sensual delicacy."	POS
United States	Glenn Kenny rogerebert.com	"This is the touch of a cinematic master (...) The film’s confidence comes in part from the acceptance of the things that can’t be known (…) Rating: ★★★★ (out of 4)"	POS
United States	A.A. Dowd AV Club	"It oddly eschews just about every quality that we’ve come to associate with her sensual, elliptical style (...) The work of an artist consistently entranced by the corporeal"	NEU
United States	Bilge Ebiri Village Voice	"Denis takes the typical moves of a particular kind of romantic comedy (...) and imbues them with a patience and sexual frankness rare to the genre."	POS
United Kingdom	Jonathan Romney Screendaily	"An acutely intelligent, finely acted and – despite its cerebral edge – emotionally rich piece (...) Binoche is at her most relaxed, in a way she isn’t always when attempting comedy"	POS
Argentina	Pablo O. Scholz Diario Clarín	"Una rareza. (...) Tiene a una Juliette Binoche completamente desconocida. (...) Denis se ha vuelto más tradicional en su manera de narrar (...) En fin, que es un placer ver a Binoche en un papel desacostumbrado. Tanto, como sugestivo."	POS
