Reviews

Critically, Arrest Me received mixed reviews upon its release. On IMDb, the film holds a rating of 5.6/10, reflecting a divided audience reception. Some critics appreciated Sophie Marceau’s intense and nuanced portrayal of Anna, noting that her performance is the standout element of the film. The Hollywood Reporter commented that while the movie "offers a sincere and thought-provoking glimpse into a troubled psyche," it sometimes falls short in pacing and narrative cohesion. Rotten Tomatoes does not have a consolidated score due to limited reviews, but available critiques suggest that the film's slow-building tension and character-driven story appeal to viewers who enjoy psychological dramas with a strong emotional core. Conversely, some reviews pointed out that the plot could feel predictable and certain secondary characters underdeveloped, which detracts from the overall impact. Metacritic ratings are unavailable, indicating limited critical coverage, but audience feedback generally acknowledges the film's ambition even if the execution is uneven. Overall, Arrest Me is considered a poignant yet flawed thriller that benefits largely from Marceau's compelling lead performance.
