Mi Amor Opens in France to Mixed-to-Negative Early Reviews

The film plays as an electro opera driven by a nonstop electronic score.

Overview

  • The thriller reaches French cinemas as critics publish first takes.
  • The story follows Romy, a DJ searching for a missing friend on a Canary Island dominated by nightlife and mass tourism.
  • Guillaume Nicloux shaped the project as an “electro opera,” using a continuous electronic score from composer Irène Dresel to steer filming and tone.
  • Early reception skews negative, with Le Nouvel Obs giving one star and faulting blaring music and graphic violence, though noting Benoît Magimel’s magnetism.
  • Other outlets highlight the atmosphere, a 1h53 runtime, and lead turns from Pom Klementieff and Magimel in a work the director places in his experimental vein.
