- 42IndieWireDavid EhrlichIndieWireDavid EhrlichNo filmmaker has ever loved anything as much as Abdellatif Kechiche loves butts.
- 40The GuardianPeter BradshawThe GuardianPeter BradshawBizarre, colossally self-indulgent ... This one feels as if Kechiche has simply given us three-and-a-half hours of his unused beach and nightclub footage from the first film.
- 30Screen DailyFionnuala HalliganScreen DailyFionnuala HalliganWhile it’s important to have seen Canto Uno in order to savour Intermezzo, this film in itself doesn’t seem remotely essential.
- 25The A.V. ClubA.A. DowdThe A.V. ClubA.A. DowdA baffling passion project whose cruelly protracted runtime is eclipsed only by the monumentally tedious way it fills it.
- 20The TelegraphRobbie CollinThe TelegraphRobbie CollinIn short, it’s a bum trip and then some. Kechiche has always been an admirer of the female posterior, but here he shifts styles into what could be called gluteus maximalism, filling the screen with frantically gyrating hindquarters for literal hours on end.
- 0The Hollywood ReporterBoyd van HoeijThe Hollywood ReporterBoyd van HoeijIt is not just a tough sit; it is nearly impossible to get through.
- 0Los Angeles TimesJustin ChangLos Angeles TimesJustin ChangA numbingly obtuse experience, a feat of maddeningly indulgent non-storytelling hiding behind a symphony of bared midriffs and jiggling derrières. ... Kechiche doesn’t just sell out his characters, his story and his collaborators; he sells out his own talent.
- 0The PlaylistCaroline TsaiThe PlaylistCaroline TsaiMektoub, My Love: Intermezzo begins to feel like a human rights violation ... It’s almost impossible to stress how unpleasant this moviegoing experience was, to the point where it’s difficult to imagine a human being making this movie and considering it art.
