Diva Ratings & Reviews
The New Yorker
Pauline Kael
[Director Jean-Jacques] Beineix may not be interested in what's underneath, but he has a great feeling for surfaces. A chase through the Métro and an escape to a pinball-machine and video-game arcade are so ravishing that they're funny, intentionally.
Sepia
Dwight Brown
Yes, this film is a little contrived at times, but it's still one of the best pictures I've seen all year. Hats off to the French!

Melissa Anderson
Beineixs film delights, if not overwhelms, the eye. (And in its obsession with the beauty and power of the human voice, Diva might also be thought of as an illustration of the cinéma du listen). Its bewitchery hasnt dimmed more than forty years later.
San Francisco Examiner
Judy Stone
In his first feature-length film, director Jean-Jacques Beineix shows a fanciful, tongue-in-cheek talent for spoofing old mysteries, creating incongruously beautiful photographic images and mixing it all up with a touch of Zen. Delightfully original.
Boston Globe
Bruce McCabe
Diva is a cinematic textbook on style. It comments on so many facets of the daily contemporary culture -- and of film -- that it seems to be an inspired shorthand.
Chicago Tribune
Sid Smith
The movie's a maelstrom of possibilities touching ethnic relations, high art, fashion and modern morality, not to mention cinema.
Boston Globe
Ty Burr
As with so many pop moments a quarter-century on, what once looked sexy now smells a little sexist.
Washington Post
Philip Kennicott
Diva, as a lifestyle, a fantasy, a model for alienation and solipsism and eccentricity, has gone deep into all of us.
Philadelphia Inquirer
Steven Rea
A light-headed, fleet-footed French caper, Jean-Jacques Beineix's ultra-stylish Diva stormed the art houses when it was released in 1982, and it's still a lot of fun now -- though its hip patina feels more quaint these days than cool.
San Francisco Chronicle
Leba Hertz
I still loved every minute of it.
Los Angeles Times
Kevin Thomas
Made with wit and humor, this French stunner abounds in the go-for-broke spirit of a first film made by a talented, nervy director.
New York Magazine/Vulture
David Edelstein
This is style as a force of nature.
Salon.com
Andrew O'Hehir
It's a supremely gorgeous and supremely shallow motion picture, but it believes in art with a capital A. And practically nobody does anymore.
Chicago Reader
Dave Kehr
Any film with this much stylistic assurance is impossible to fully resist.
Variety
Variety Staff
The novel touches, bizarre chases and plot twists, breathtaking camerawork by Philippe Rousselot and tension-filled editing, make Diva a superior piece of entertainment.
Village Voice
Nathan Lee
Half a century later, a glut of über-groovy meta-thrillers has blunted the novelty of Diva, but its gamboling flair is still a kick.
Chicago Sun-Times
Roger Ebert
Here is a director taking audacious chances, doing wild and unpredictable things with his camera and actors, just to celebrate moviemaking.
New York Times
Vincent Canby
...frightfully chic-looking...
