Jean de Florette Ratings & Reviews
Wall Street Journal
David Mermelstein
What can be discussed freely are the extraordinary performances that Berri coaxed from a cast that could not be bettered.
Slant Magazine
Jake Cole
The edenic landscapes provide an ironic contrast for the heavy use of Biblical imagery and the xenophobic and greedy villagers' religious superstitions that highlight their sanctimony.
The New Yorker
Pauline Kael
Jean de Florette doesn't have the motor of a work conceived as a film. It's a copy, with no life of its own.

Cole Smithey
[VIDEO ESSAY] "Jean de Florette / Manon des Sources" is an emotionally potent movie whose lush depiction of Provence captures your imagination in such a tangible way that you feel as if you are living there during the period.
Cinemania
Dan Jardine
Jean de Florette is as melodramatic as any soap opera, but its treatment is just a little askew, just off-center enough for the film to evolve into a moving and powerful pastoral tragedy.
Mountain Xpress (Asheville, NC)
Ken Hanke
A stealthy work that creeps up on the viewer, becoming intriguing without seeming to work at it.
Spirituality & Practice
Mary Ann Brussat
An emotionally affecting morality tale about greed and undeserved anguish.
FilmFestivals.com
Moira Sullivan
Beautiful, carefully groomed, French epic.
Chicago Sun-Times
Roger Ebert
The point of the film is not to create suspense, but to capture the relentlessness of human greed, the feeling that the land is so important the human spirit can be sacrificed to it.
Washington Post
Desson Thomson
You may also become permanently sick of goats. But after Jean, a rich residue of themes and images remains -- much as after reading a long but great novel or Greek tragedy.
