Critics consensus

“Whimsical and melancholy, Chicken with Plums is visually striking and dreamily compelling despite its occasional narrative missteps.”

These moments give flavor, but fail to cohere into any particular taste.

Eric Kohn

RTIndieWireApr 14, 2013

While visually scrumptious, the movie struggles to reach a greater profundity that it never quite obtains, but its childlike emulation of a grand tragedy is indelibly precious.

RTSt. Louis Post-DispatchOct 18, 2012

Resurrects the spirit of Middle Eastern fables, albeit with a French twist.

Has that larger-than-life Technicolor feel to it.
