The Unknown Girl Ratings & Reviews
San Diego Reader
Scott Marks
The last thing one expected was for the Belgian Dardenne brothers to dote on a murder mystery, particularly one involving a medico turned amateur sleuth that's fraught with coincidence like so much of what's already out there.
Washington Post
Michael O'Sullivan
The question that looms large here, lingering long after the closing credits, is whether, despite our human need for forgiveness, absolution is ever truly possible.
National Catholic Register
Steven D. Greydanus
Jenny's search is a quest for atonement, not only for herself, but also for others. A physician of the body, she becomes a kind of physician of the soul, her clinic office a secular confessional, sealed by her ethic of doctor-patient confidentiality.
Chicago Reader
J. R. Jones
[Adlle] Haenel's deadpan performance makes this a tough sell, leaving only the common mechanisms of a suspense plot to move the drama forward.
Los Angeles Times
Justin Chang
"The Unknown Girl" is an imperfect but absorbing addition to the canon, a carefully plotted thriller of conscience in which Jenny spends most of the movie patiently and persistently atoning for her mistake.
New York Magazine/Vulture
David Edelstein
Every Dardennes movie is worth seeing, and The Unknown Girl has all kinds of gripping undercurrents.
RogerEbert.com
Peter Sobczynski
An odd fusion of an earnest socially conscious drama and a B-movie mystery programmer that never quite comes together despite a strong performance from Adele Haenel at its center.
NPR
Andrew Lapin
The story is gripping, with a steady drip-drip of twists and turns as a town's familiar buried secrets find their way to daylight.
New York Times
A.O. Scott
Shot with unassuming lyricism and an eye for everyday detail and full of modest, eloquent performances.
AV Club
A.A. Dowd
In The Unknown Girl, the brothers' durably direct technique shines, even when their storytelling doesn't.
Village Voice
Melissa Anderson
As we watch Haenel ... stride through these overdetermined scenes, clutching a medical bag to her side, we are reminded that even the most timeworn of conventions can be made electric and alive.
The New Republic
Christian Lorentzen
One of the strangest aspects of [the Dardennes'] work is their combination of sweeping plot twists and endings that leave the door open to both hopeful and hopeless futures.
The New Yorker
Anthony Lane
You think afresh of the film's title and wonder, Who is more unknown here, the nameless victim or the inscrutable doctor?
Slant Magazine
Jake Cole
This is a left-footed and clumsily insistent work, exposing the worst aspects inherent to the Dardennes' style.
Paste Magazine
Tim Grierson
All of this is done masterfully, but I confess it was masterful in just the way I expected.
Slant Magazine
Sam C. Mac
For the Dardennes, this is typical moral-message territory, which they approach too deliberately.
AV Club
Mike D'Angelo
An admirably humanistic outlook, to be sure, but the Dardennes usually demonstrate a lighter touch with their grace.
The Playlist
Jessica Kiang
The somewhat drab aesthetic and almost vanishingly understated performance style dull the potential pleasures of a good old-fashioned whodunit to roughly the luminosity of an above-average feature-length episode of a TV procedural.
The Hollywood Reporter
David Rooney
Not an outstanding entry in the Dardennes' body of work, but poignant and very much worthwhile.
Variety
Guy Lodge
It's a film that skilfully makes us feel precisely what we expect to feel from moment to moment, up to and including the long-forestalled waterworks.
