What the critics say average 6.9 from 5 outlets

• 8.0 ABCAntonio Weinrichter "But, above all, Bacri and Jaoui shine when it comes to turning that sad party into a decentered story model, visually and dramatically, that evokes the great cinema of Altman or, a little further away, of Renoir. It fits better praise". Read
• 8.0 El PeriódicoQuim Casas "In both appears, although in a different way, the fear of aging. In fact, Bacri and Jaoui talk about themselves, their role in the world, the entertainment industry, relationships with young people and children. The action progresses smoothly. It's a party, but we know that not everything will be festive". Read
• 6.5 The Hollywood ReporterBoyd van Hoeij "The film?s last major theme is the opposition between cynicism and idealism, represented by Castro and Helene, respectively, with the latter desperately trying to get Nathalie and her ex-husband to book an Afghan refugee on the show whose story is a lot more important than the private shenanigans of France?s rich and famous".

• 6.0 FotogramasDesirée De Fez "But, despite these successes, 'Place Publique' is somewhat crude in the expression of two of its main themes: the obsession with youth and how technology has invaded our privacy". Read
• 6.0 CinemaníaCarlos Marañón "Melancholy wins, regardless of the fact that this kind of distracted version of 'The Rules of the Game' is too reminiscent of 'C'est la vie!' The comedy of Nakache and Toledano was more solid than this one in which everyone swarms around the solvents Bacri and Jaoui, with an outstanding Léa Drucker willing to offer fun, but 35 minutes from Paris".
