It's one of the bitterest dramas of Seydoux's less-than-saccharine career.
June 24, 2016
A bracingly nasty piece of work, contrasting brutishness at the bottom and condescension from the top.
June 15, 2016
Worth seeing as another entry in the rise of Léa Seydoux, a star of Gallic charisma if ever I've seen one.
June 10, 2016
For a film that's ostensibly about passion, it feels particularly stunted.
June 09, 2016
Unfolding elliptically, the new film can feel abrupt and unsatisfying, but it's filled with sharp commentary on class and servitude, and [Seydoux] delivers another extraordinary performance.

Jacquot makes a persuasive case for a return to the story, with a scowling, watchful Lea Seydoux in the role of a scheming chambermaid.
June 09, 2016
Rather than gain speed and power in its final act, as Joseph's design comes into play, the movie stalls.
June 10, 2016
The immediate effect Jacquot achieves, with quiet droll and some considerable dread, is bracing.

Diary of a Chambermaid would make a decent first act to a television miniseries. As a film, it ends in an unfortunate whimper.
June 09, 2016
[It's] engaging and visually stylish but loses momentum towards its end.
June 16, 2016
Few films have the power to manipulate, engage, play and discombobulate the audience this well.
June 15, 2016
Jacquot expertly combines the mores of the 1900 novel and the mid-20th Century films with today's world and the result is a thought-provoking film that leaves the viewer contemplating what they have just seen. Seydoux is outstanding.
