Critics Consensus

Whenever Armand's ambitious structure threatens to collapse into its own rabbit hole, Renate Reinsve's outstanding performance holds everything together even as her character's composure falls apart.

Tim Cogshell FilmWeek (KPCC - NPR Los Angeles) Save for those moments when it slips into fantasy, which I'm still struggling with, it is quite masterful Feb 11, 2025 Full Review Zachary Barnes Wall Street Journal Ms. Reinsve is a talented actress, yet her performance here evokes a kind of pity: She deserves a director who knows when to yell “cut!” Feb 8, 2025 Full Review Brian Tallerico RogerEbert.com “Armand” is a frustrating, over-long movie that starts with an intriguing premise and then starts fighting it almost immediately. Rated: 2/4 Feb 7, 2025 Full Review Al Alexander Movies Thru the Spectrum Reinsve is the ace up Tøndel’s sleeve, and she delivers time after time, elevating “Armand” to a caliber of artistry that’s as entertaining as it is socially relevant. Rated: B Feb 12, 2025 Full Review Manuel Betancourt FilmWeek (KPCC - NPR Los Angeles) The way that [Renate Reinsve] captures a wounded vulnerability that can become quite wounding in the way she lashes out... I found it quite masterful. Feb 11, 2025 Full Review Laura Clifford Reeling Reviews Why oh why was Norwegian actress Renate Reinsve never a part of the 2025 awards season conversation? Justly lauded for her turn in 2021's "The Worst Person in the World," Reinsve delivers an even more complex performance here. Rated: B+ Feb 11, 2025 Full Review Read all reviews
