- 100The PlaylistJihane BousfihaThe PlaylistJihane BousfihaWhile More Than Ever spends much of its time concerned with Hélène’s way of dealing with her illness, the film is a love story at heart.
- 80Screen DailyNikki BaughanScreen DailyNikki BaughanFeaturing superb turns from Vicky Krieps and the late Gaspard Ulliel - in his final role - as a couple facing the most difficult of choices, More Than Ever persuades, rather than forces, its audience to stare death in the face, and proves surprisingly life affirming in the process.
- 80EmpireDavid ParkinsonEmpireDavid ParkinsonAn affecting reflection on the loneliness we will all have to face at our end, held together by Vicky Krieps's poised display of unself-pitying despair and liberating acceptance.
- 80Los Angeles TimesRobert AbeleLos Angeles TimesRobert AbeleThis is Krieps’ show, another elegantly virtuosic, intelligent turn that, in this case, imbues sickness with dignity so that every strained grasp for breath feels like a victory for autonomy.

- 70The New York TimesBeatrice LoayzaThe New York TimesBeatrice LoayzaDirected by Emily Atif, this middlebrow drama showcases Krieps’s captivating blend of melancholic fragility and spiky tenacity, riding on the strength of its performers, including the Gaspard Ulliel in his final live-action role before his accidental death in 2022.
- 50Little White LiesLaura VenningLittle White LiesLaura VenningAs demonstrated by the film’s final third, Atef evidently has a skill for crafting humane, sometimes contradictory characters and for drawing out compelling performances. And yet as interesting as the interpersonal drama should be, it might just leave you, as Monty Python would say, pining for the fjords.
