	Author	Review
United States	Jessica Kiang IndieWire	"'Sils Maria' threads through the peaks and valleys of weighty, interesting topics, but makes no lasting impression on them, insubstantial as a cloud."	NEU
United States	Peter Debruge Variety	"A rich study of actorly insecurity (...) Binoche leaves audiences with the (...) feeling of having witnessed something precious and rare — answering the challenge of Assayas’ script by revealing a character incredibly closer to her soul."	POS
United States	Peter Travers Rolling Stone	"Don't get hung up on metaphors. Enjoy the virtuoso acting of Binoche and Stewart, and the strange and beautiful artwork Assayas has made of them pinballing around the notion of what it means to be a woman under a microscope (...) Rating: ★★★½ (out of four)"	POS
United States	Todd McCarthy The Hollywood Reporter	"An engaging, if rarefied inside look at the private world of a star. By turns wispy and sharply dramatic, Olivier Assayas’ (...) character study benefits greatly from the magnetic and naturalistic lead performances by Juliette Binoche (...) and Kristen Stewart."	POS
United States	Chris Nashawaty Entertainment Weekly	"A haunting look at the anxieties of a profession where blurring the line between fantasy and reality is both part of the job description and a vocational hazard"	POS
United Kingdom	Xan Brooks The Guardian	"Assayas knows what he's doing; we are in professional hands. The script has been polished and the performers rehearsed. (...) Rating: ★★★★ (out of five)"	POS
