The Measure of a Man's reviews
Media reviews
The Hollywood Reporter
(The film) offer up an impressive foray into social drama with the working-class chronicle (...) Highlighted by an all-consuming lead performance from Lindon.
Variety
Vincent Lindon looms large as an unemployed factory worker turned big-box store detective in Stephane Brize's low-key but powerful social drama.
El Mundo
The camera is handled with distance from the characters without judging them or lead the viewer's gaze. (...) It's in this space for reflection before and after, from inside and from outside, where the drama gains meaning and the film, importance.
El Mundo
The honesty with the theme and the consistent formal idea are very grateful, although the film has an unnecessary screenplay decision to enlarge the spectrum of social denunciation.
La Razón
In 'La loi du marché', Stéphane Brizé takes advantage of the truth of the interpretation of Vincent Lindon, splendid, to tell the story of a victim of the crisis (...) But Brizé creates too many misfortunes for his character.
El País
It pretends to be a vigorous social film, but it doesn't transmit anything special.
Fotogramas
A proposal that feels dishonest to follow to the letter the book of social cinema style.
ABC
The film has as a major and almost unique quality: the interpretation of Vincent Lindon (...) The movie, undoubtedly intended to be something, although all that comes from it is extremely serious to get it.
