Los Angeles Times "...Tavernier shows us, in more ways than one, that le cinema de qualite lives on..." Sight and Sound "...Tavernier takes great delight in moments of high drama and in abstraction..." Film Comment "...A moving tribute to the ingenuity and courage of those real-life film-makers to whom LAISSEZ-PASSER is dedicated..."Total Film "...Tavernier is interested in his characters not in terms of the cinema they produced but because of the conditions they survived, and the decisions they made....What Tavernier does here is celebrate filmmakers who did the best they could under the circumstances...."

3 stars out of 5 -- "Fontaine makes good use of the contrasting personalities of Luchini's intellectual and Zem's physical and taciturn bodyguard. Bertrand was written for Luchini who skillfully shows the changes in his character as life becomes destabilized."Box Office0.2900633

"A sly alluring, and at times unsettling examination of the parallels between violence in the public and private spheres....An intimate epic, as coolly calculated as a chess match..."Film Comment "[A] rousing amalgam of ambition, moods and genre conceits....The French director Bertrand Tavernier deploys some smart ideas in this film..."New York Times 3.5 stars out of 4 -- "So well does Bertrand Tavernier evoke the period that it evokes tangible physical qualities....Tavernier has an uncanny success in showing the life within a medieval castle..."Chicago Sun-Times 3.5 stars out of 4 -- "At times, PRINCESS resembles a widescreen Hollywood western, with exhilarating Steadicam shots of horsemen galloping across broad plains..."Washington Post 4 stars out of 5 -- "Robustly acted and dynamically photographed; Tavernier is equally adept at directing intimate encounters as choreographing savage battles..."Total Film "As a period drama, the film has many merits: swashbuckling set pieces...and formal decorative episodes in the form of weddings and masked balls."Sight and Sound0.1687063
