"Matinee" has received mixed reviews from critics and audiences alike. On IMDb, it holds a rating of 5.8/10, reflecting a moderate reception. Many reviewers praise the film's elegant cinematography and the captivating performances by Masaharu Fukuyama and the lead actress, noting their chemistry and the film's soothing score. However, some critics feel the narrative pacing is slow and the storyline somewhat predictable, which impacts the overall engagement.
