Diva remains terrific after all this time. The visuals are beautifully composed; the action scenes ... still work; and the performances are all spot-on... .

Reviews for Diva
I still loved every minute of it.

Made with wit and humor, this French stunner abounds in the go-for-broke spirit of a first film made by a talented, nervy director.

Top CriticThis is style as a force of nature.
11/03/07
A classic that manages to combine sweet romanticism with upbeat and intellectual humor. A joy to watch.
11/02/07
It's a supremely gorgeous and supremely shallow motion picture, but it believes in art with a capital A. And practically nobody does anymore.
11/01/07
An endlessly-inventive,edge-of-your-seat crime caper blessed with an abundance of amusing twist and turns, a stirring soundtrack and unorthodox cinematography which all add up to a sumptuous cinematic classic among the very best movies ever made.

Any film with this much stylistic assurance is impossible to fully resist.
10/31/07
The novel touches, bizarre chases and plot twists, breathtaking camerawork by Philippe Rousselot and tension-filled editing, make Diva a superior piece of entertainment.

Top CriticIt flows between its romance, drama and thriller plots more smoothly than today’s best genre-blenders.
10/31/07
Half a century later, a glut of über-groovy meta-thrillers has blunted the novelty of Diva, but its gamboling flair is still a kick.

What makes 'Diva' memorable, is the sheer fun, fun, fun of the whole, with its sly homage to directors, styles and genres.
10/30/07
Intelligent, gripping and slick French thriller.
07/17/07
It's a beautifully layered work that's much more than a showcase for Beineix's talent.

Fabulous French flick
01/05/05
Here is a director taking audacious chances, doing wild and unpredictable things with his camera and actors, just to celebrate moviemaking.
