      What to Know

      Critics Consensus

      Joyless and distastefully photographed, Abdellatif Kechiche's second chapter in his romantic epic is too enamored with derrière to offer audiences a reason to care.

      Bilge Ebiri New York Magazine/Vulture Beyond being tiresome, Intermezzo is just plain ugly, with seemingly little care given to the image - odd, perhaps, given that the film is so clearly and confrontationally about its own director's gaze. May 25, 2019 Full Review A.A. Dowd AV Club In practice, however, the film is a slog of epic proportions, its trancelike repetitiveness threatening to destroy this critic's fragile grasp on time itself, ushering me into a new plane of star-child boredom. Rated: D May 24, 2019 Full Review David Ehrlich indieWire Kechiche devotes about 60% of its runtime to extreme close-ups of jiggling female derrieres. And while that horrifyingly unexaggerated statistic may sound like a bit of a red flag to begin with, it only gets worse... Rated: C- May 24, 2019 Full Review Joseph Fahim Middle East Eye Intermezzo is the work of a film-maker gone down the rabbit hole, an ugly picture built on objectification and contempt for the audience. Jul 3, 2021 Full Review Leonardo Garcia Tsao La Jornada Despite some stimulating scenes, Mektoub, My Love: Intermezzo becomes as tedious as ... well, like spending three hours on a nightclub saturated with electronic music, listening to futile conversations about the war of the sexes. [Full Review in Spanish] Jun 12, 2019 Full Review Jason Gorber HighDef Digest Mektoub, My Love: Intermezzo will surely go down as a footnote as one of the worst films to ever play in competition at Cannes. The movie actually makes cinema worse by its very existence. Rated: F Jun 4, 2019 Full Review Read all reviews

      Audience Member These critics can't get politics off their mind. The movie entertains. It does it's job. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/19/23 Full Review Audience Member Progetto ambizioso ed interessante, pronto a dar vita ad una trilogia che potrebbe essere molto affascinante. Le vite e gli amori di un gruppo di giovani francesi si mischiano perfettamente, formando una storia piena di dettagli, di personalità e straboccante di sensualità. Il protagonista resta il personaggio più ambiguo e misterioso durante il film; a tratti risulta quasi come un narratore esterno ed indipendente dagli altri personaggi. Sfido chiunque a non ritrovare nei caratteri dei film, qualcuno di conosciuto nella vita reale. La lunga durata si percepisce solo a momenti, con una trama che lascia quasi tutto lo spazio a dialoghi di vita quotidiana. Il piatto è apparecchiato per una trilogia molto innovativa. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/12/23 Full Review Audience Member Hi, how do i watch this movie? Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/11/23 Full Review Read all reviews
