"In a film playing with thriller and melodrama conventions before tipping over into expressive surrealism, hers is a fiercely visceral presence; Reinsve performs as if dancing on the edge of a knife."—Isaac Feldberg, RogerEbert.com
"The film starts by promising a bourgeois social drama about secrets and lies, suspicions and rivalries, and the troubled waters of juvenile and adult sexuality. What it ultimately becomes is much harder to define, but the result is resonant and haunting."—Lou Thomas, Screen Daily
"It’s as a satiric bourgeois psychodrama that Armand works best and reveals its genetic heritage to the works of Bergman and Ullmann."—Ty Burr, Washington Post
