The Commune's reviews
Media reviews
The Guardian
"The lack of development in the supporting cast is a problem. Nothing, or almost nothing, of any consequence happens to these people. The title is a bit misleading: there is no real communal plot development".
Variety
"For Vinterberg, this uneven but nonetheless absorbing pic at least marks a return to characteristically bristly territory".
The Hollywood Reporter
"The Commune effortlessly entertains at a TV sitcom level, with its pithy dialogue, its chorus of thinly drawn caricatures and its cozy sense of mockery towards the failed social experiments of past generations. But as serious cinema, it feels limited for the same reasons".
Screen Daily
"The film is a patchwork portrait that combines the joys and irritations, the petty arguments and the homespun warmth of this environment".
The Telegraph
"The Commune doesn't openly stumble so much as constrict itself awkwardly inside its main love triangle, short-changing the terrific supporting cast, and nearly forgetting what we thought it was all about".
Indiewire
"Despite presenting an environment enriched to weapons-grade plutonium levels with potential for interpersonal drama, Vinterberg can't seem to find any".
