[Andrea Pallaoro's] focus on the quotidian may wear you out before he finally lays down his cards and the depth of the protagonist's despair is revealed.

Yet Rampling, ever the pro, kicks back against the material, occupying practically every frame, glowering and defiant.

Full Review | Original Score: 4/5 | Mar 4, 2019

Rampling elevates an otherwise fairly middling film.

Full Review | Original Score: 3/5 | Mar 1, 2019

The script is minimal. It probably covers only a few pages. But the power is in Rampling's superb performance.

It is a haunting portrait of emotional undeadness.

Full Review | Original Score: 4/5 | Feb 28, 2019

It's a bit rum to make a sophisticated performer go through the motions in this way.

Those who think that the word "marvel" applies only to superheroes should steer clear of "Hannah." But Rampling is a true marvel here, in every other sense of the word.

Full Review | Original Score: 3/4 | Mar 20, 2018

[Rampling is] so mesmerizing you can't take your eyes off her. This is good, because there's nothing else to watch or care about in the entire film anyway.

Full Review | Original Score: 2.5/4 | Mar 16, 2018

In a film that otherwise operates in a forbidding chill, it's only Rampling's magnificent performance that holds us in expectant suspension.

Full Review | Original Score: 2.5/4 | Mar 12, 2018

Gorgeously and at times frustratingly austere, "Hannah" has a simple, compelling premise. But more than that, it has the unparalleled Charlotte Rampling.

Full Review | Mar 8, 2018

Rampling's pale, stricken countenance sets the tone of "Hannah" and dominates virtually every moment thereafter. By the end, we feel so wrung out it takes a second or two to realize that very little has happened.

Full Review | Mar 8, 2018

There is a real seed of dramatic possibility in Hannah, but Pallaoro smothers it beneath the lacquer of the film's fastidiously mannered minimalism.

Full Review | Original Score: 1.5/4 | Feb 23, 2018

Hannah plays out in long wordless takes often stripped of context and attains a discomfiting intimacy in its chilly examination of a woman coming undone.

Full Review | Nov 17, 2017

Pallaoro plays the slow-cinema game with slick, calculating skill, but now flashes of serious substance can be glimpsed beneath the exquisitely steely style.

Full Review | Sep 25, 2017

Although the lead performance commands admiration, the overall impact of this unrelentingly dour account of a woman struggling to carry on with her life after her husband's imprisonment is dulled by its distancing approach.

Full Review | Sep 8, 2017

This is an impressively rigorous exercise, in which the director's sober formalism finds a kindred spirit in his leading lady's studied, secretive restraint.
