La cérémonie Ratings & Reviews
East Bay Express
Kelly Vance
Arguably Chabrol and Huppert's finest joint effort, it matches Huppert with Sandrine Bonnaire as a disgruntled postal clerk and sinister housekeeper.

Cole Smithey
Claude Chabrol peaked with this engrossing and shocking thriller.
Not Coming to a Theater Near You
Matt Bailey
Though Chabrol continues to create new films on an almost constant basis, he created a high water mark for his late career with La Crmonie
Filmcritic.com
Christopher Null
one of Chabrol's greatest achievements of the 1990s
Dennis Schwartz Movie Reviews
Dennis Schwartz
The exorcism of bourgeois complacency is delivered with force.
Washington Post
Desson Thomson
As the movers and shakers of this peculiar saga, Bonnaire and Huppert are unnerving and fascinating to watch together.
Los Angeles Times
Kevin Thomas
Elegant, brisk and lethal in its assault on the obliviousness of the haute bourgeoise.
Film.com
John Hartl
Chabrol's most accomplished and popular movie in decades.
San Francisco Chronicle
Edward Guthmann
A tight, beautifully contained thriller that plunges four wonderful actors ... into dangerous territory.
Houston Chronicle
Jeff Millar
An unconventional thriller, its climax being the result of the meeting of two largely inert elements that become explosive only when they are mixed.
Chicago Sun-Times
Roger Ebert
Watching the film, you think maybe you know where it's headed. Or maybe not. Not every ceremony ends in the way we anticipate.
Film.com
Robert Horton
Chabrol's metier has always been tracing the cracks in the old family china, and this movie presents a brittle set, indeed.
The New Republic
Stanley Kauffmann
Besides the unconvincing shift of psychic gears, the picture has no theme, no resonance, no point.
USA Today
Mike Clark
The acting, as expected, is first rate, and it's unimaginable that any seasoned veteran of French cinema will let this movie get by.
