Emmanuelle | Rotten Tomatoes (1) Perry Stewart Fort Worth Star-Telegram/DFW.com The end product just isn't all that red-hot. Jun 27, 2023 Full Review Emmanuelle | Rotten Tomatoes (2) David Stratton Cinema Papers I can't say I found the film boring, not for one moment. May 13, 2020 Full Review Emmanuelle | Rotten Tomatoes (3) A.H. Weiler New York Times As a study of a young wife's amours in high and low Bangkok society, Emmanuelle is a fluffy consignment of romantic, slick, soft‐core, sexual simulations that is largely uninspired and hardly a revelation to enthusiasts long exposed to the genre. Mar 31, 2020 Full Review Emmanuelle | Rotten Tomatoes (4) John Ferguson Radio Times It's artfully shot by director Just Jaeckin, the Thailand locations are occasionally stunning and Kristel disrobes with some elegance. However, acting is far from her strong suit, and the dialogue and story are pretty banal. Rated: 2/5 Mar 31, 2020 Full Review Emmanuelle | Rotten Tomatoes (5) Jacoba Atlas Los Angeles Free Press It's slick and boring and won't offend anyone - unless they care about movies. Dec 6, 2019 Full Review Emmanuelle | Rotten Tomatoes (6) Jesús Fernández Santos El Pais (Spain) The truth is the film is cheap and vulgar from beginning to end. The only one who stays afloat is its protagonist. [Full Review in Spanish] Jul 26, 2019 Full Review Read all reviews

Brent A 10% rating ... Garbage movie. Don't waste your time. Rated 0.5/5 Stars • Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 09/20/23 Full Review david f I found this kind of dumb, I'm not sure what all the fuss was about. Rated 1/5 Stars • Rated 1 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Audience Member Softcore, soft lighting, sophomoric philosophizing—but what else do you expect from a movie directed by a guy with the name "Just Jaeckin" (and I doubt he was the only one). Rated 2.5/5 Stars • Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 01/30/23 Full Review Audience Member This movie is part of my happy childhood memories Rated 5/5 Stars • Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/27/23 Full Review andrey k What a movie. The starting point of the long (or rather quite short) road to complete abandoning of 'sentiments'. Talking about liberation, disrupting your senses? I remember hearing the same stuff in one movie called "A Serbian Film" where they promoted making love to a fetus. Only about 35 years had passed between these two movies, but what an advance in abandoning the 'sentiments', as the old senile Mario whispered to Emmanuelle. Having started as a good sensual girl she ended up being an ordinary slut; it's sad. But the song is great, it add's some dreamy quality to some of the movie's scenes. Rated 1.5/5 Stars • Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Audience Member I remember seeing this as 'top billing' on Bournemouth Westover Road's cinema strip in 1974. It wasn't until almost 40 years later I managed to see the un-cut version from Russia. And I couldn't believe how much had been 'cut out'. No wonder I thought the original was 'tame' ! Rated 4/5 Stars • Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/13/23 Full Review Read all reviews
