Critical reception to "My Name is Viola" has been mixed to negative. On IMDb, the movie holds a low rating of 4.1/10, indicating that many viewers found the film lacking in certain areas, particularly in pacing and narrative engagement. Some critics have pointed out that while the film’s intention to depict a nuanced personal journey is commendable, the execution falls short due to uneven storytelling and underdeveloped character arcs. For instance, some reviewers noted that the pacing felt slow and the plot occasionally meandered without clear direction. There are positive remarks about the acting, especially Maxence Kouzoubachian's portrayal of Viola, which was praised for its sincerity and emotional depth. However, overall, the film did not achieve widespread acclaim or standout recognition on major platforms such as Rotten Tomatoes and Metacritic, where it lacks sufficient critical reviews for a formal aggregated score. Despite its shortcomings, the film might appeal to audiences interested in arthouse cinema and regional narratives that provide cultural insight.
