United Kingdom	Dan Fainaru Screendaily	"If there is a star in this show, it is certainly cinematographer Nathalie Moliavko-Visotzky whose work stands out as the one perfectly valid reason to watch this film"	POS
United States	Michael Rechtshaffen Los Angeles Times	"[It has] bland characters that feel schematically drawn rather than possessing a beating pulse (...) When it comes to any emotional resonance, however, 'An Eye for Beauty' is all façade."	NEG
United States	Stephen Holden The New York Times	"The message that 'An Eye for Beauty' wants to send is that gorgeous people suffer just like the rest of us. But it is so enamored of them that the message gets lost en route to the screen. What really matters is the lighting."	NEU
United States	Mike D'Angelo AV Club	"Denys Arcand’s bland infidelity drama has 'An Eye For Beauty', but little else"	NEG
United States	Jordan Mintzer The Hollywood Reporter	"Arcand doesn’t seem to have any good answers for us, or otherwise could care less about creating characters with some sort of readable psychology (...) At best, the film remains true to its title by offering up a sizeable amount of eye candy"	NEU
United States	Kimber Myers IndieWire	"Self-serious and offering little of the way of real substance, it’s hard to muster much enthusiasm for the pretty people in pretty locations in 'An Eye For Beauty'"	NEG
United States	Andrew Barker Variety	"An almost bizarrely limp, emotionless, blank greeting card of a movie"	NEG
