- 70Village VoiceZachary WigonVillage VoiceZachary WigonThoroughly nonjudgmental in its observations, Pierre Salvadori's In the Courtyard ranks as one of the funnier films about victims of depression and mental illness.
- 70The Hollywood ReporterBoyd van HoeijThe Hollywood ReporterBoyd van HoeijCrucially, though all the characters get a little eccentric at times and some of their antics seem to have been imported from boulevard comedies rather than inspired by real life, in the overall scheme of things, the ensemble remains grounded in a recognizable reality.
- 60CineVueEd FranklCineVueEd FranklThe dark heart of In the Courtyard makes its comedy ever more piquant, while Deneuve and Kervern are exceptional as two lonely souls finding solace in each other's company during the twilight years of their lives.
- 50The New York TimesJeannette CatsoulisThe New York TimesJeannette CatsoulisFalling back repeatedly on in-your-face symbolism — especially with regard to the specter of decline — Mr. Salvadori seems content to idle in neutral.
