Reception
Ronnie Scheib of Variety had this to say: "While 'Ariane’s Thread' evokes the poetic realism of the 1930s French populist cinema of Feydeau, Prevert, Vigo and early Renoir, it does so less in terms of an organic visual style and more in terms of its expression of a shared ethos."[2] Jerome Cabanel, writing for The Hollywood Reporter, considered "Yet while there aren’t too many rewards offered at the end of the maze [], there’s something pleasurable in soaking in the warm atmosphere and touching characters, with the director’s trusty cast indulging in a series of easygoing conversations and playful bickering []."[3]
