“Convincing proof that Mia Hansen-Løve is one of the best filmmakers on the planet.” – David Ehrlich, indieWIRE

“Things To Come is an oddly calm film. Hansen-Løve doesn’t force the drama, but simply observes, letting the magnificent Huppert find the tension or emotion in the moment as her character, a lifelong intellectual, gradually realizes that life can only be analyzed for so long before you actually have to live it.” – NOW Magazine
