	Author	Review
United States	David Ehrlich IndieWire	"A timeless comedy about Twitter (...) Sly and delightful (...) A movie full of chuckles and snorts"	POS
United States	Jay Weissberg Variety	"Olivier Assayas crafts films of marvelous depths, simultaneously cinematic and literary in the richness of their pleasures"	POS
United States	Jon Frosch The Hollywood Reporter	"A new treasure from one of France's most vital filmmakers (...) [A] witty, resonant, richly perceptive portrait of people caught in the throes of a fast-changing country."	POS
United States	Alonso Duralde The Wrap	"First and foremost, this is an empathetic and charming character piece, featuring top-notch actors (...) enjoying richly clever dialogue"	POS
United Kingdom	Lee Marshall Screendaily	"One of the film’s strengths (...) is that it allows satire to co-exist with intellectual engagement (...) There’s a sense of haste about the exercise nevertheless"	NEU
United States	Glenn Kenny rogerebert.com	"This is a sexy, fun film filled with a lot of zingers (…) Rating: ★★★★ (out of 4)"	POS
United Kingdom	Peter Bradshaw The Guardian	"Tale of literary passions loses the plot (...) [An] amiable but self-indulgent and finally negligible movie (…) Rating: ★★ (out of 5)"	NEG
United Kingdom	Ian Freer Empire	"All modern life is here — the good, the bad, the insufferable — and it’s glorious. 'Non-Fiction' is Olivier Assayas in a lighter register and he wears it well (…) Rating: ★★★★ (out of 5)"	POS
United Kingdom	Helen O'Hara Time Out	"A funny and often profound look at life in a changing world (...) [With the characters], Assayas creates spiky, smart exchanges that give the film its pace and comedy (…) Rating: ★★★ (out of 5)"	POS
Ireland	Paddy Kehoe RTÉ	"[A] charming, restrained comedy of manners featuring Juliette Binoche - and indeed everybody else - doing star turns in Oliver Assayas's engaging drama (…) Rating: ★★★★★ (out of 5)"	POS
	Marta Bałaga Cineuropa	"Hugely entertaining (...) This is Assayas’ funniest film in years (...) 'Non-Fiction' has a very distinct, comfortable, retro feel to it"	POS
