The richest woman in the world: her beauty, her intelligence, her power. A photographer: his ambition, his audacity, his madness. A love at first sight that sweeps them away. A mistrustful heiress fighting to be loved. A watchful butler who knows more than he lets on. Family secrets. Astronomical donations. A war where anything goes.

Jessica Kiang Variety May 20
[The Richest Woman in the World] feels simultaneously beneath Huppert and entirely built around her. What pleasures it yields stem exclusively from watching the actress swan around without breaking a sweat in a role tailored to her specifications.

Despite some dark jokes about the gilded cage of the rich, the film lacks the killer instinct to make this battle for power deliciously devious -- or, conversely, surprisingly sympathetic and nuanced. Go to Full Review Elsa Fernández-Santos El Pais (Spain) 1d
...Thierry Klifa sets in motion a game that fails to maintain tension, dragging on for over two hours, and in which, above all, the queen of the board stands out: the actress Isabelle Huppert. [Full review in Spanish] Go to Full Review Luis Martínez El Mundo (Spain) 2d
2/5
An unbalanced farce that finds its place between gossip columns and moral fables. [Full review in Spanish] Go to Full Review Roger Salvans Fotogramas 6d
2/5
...there's the rest of the cast, a script, and staging choices that seem to be going in a different direction, or perhaps even belong in a completely different film. [Full review in Spanish] Go to Full Review Àngel Quintana Caimán Cuadernos de Cine Jun 3
Huppert acts as a cold, all-powerful lady in a world of luxury and excess, while Laurent Lafitte plays a character who is all about excess and whose true intentions are never fully understood. [Full review in Spanish] Go to Full Review Read all reviews

Howie B @Howie10 Mar 8 Time flies when you’re having fun, and it did watching this ‘almost documentary’. A world away from the lives of the majority of us at a time when ‘rich’ was not the flavour of the month. Strong acting performances and a script which kept on delivering. See more Read all reviews
