The Fall of the American Empire's reviews
Media reviews
Variety
Arcand tries a little too hard at the very end to demonstrate his deep-down earnestness. But never mind: The performances across the board are everything they need to be, and the satirical thrusts are well aimed at the right targets.
Indiewire
If Arcand's worldview has not changed, his angle continues to grow more acute. Where 'The Decline of the American Empire' focused on social ills, and 'The Barbarian Invasions' was preoccupied with ideology, 'The Fall of the American Empire' finds the 77-year-old Canadian legend turning his attention to the greatest moral catastrophe of our time: money.
The Hollywood Reporter
'Fall of the American Empire' is 'Pretty Woman' for socialists, a Capital-conscious fairy tale in which a nice guy not only attempts a perfect crime but wins the heart of a prostitute hitherto moved only by American dollars.
