Reviews

Critically, "Hidden Love" received mixed to negative feedback, reflected in its modest IMDb rating of 5.3/10. On platforms like IMDb, some viewers praised Isabelle Huppert's compelling and restrained portrayal, highlighting her ability to convey deep emotional conflict. However, the film was often critiqued for its slow pacing and lack of narrative engagement. Rotten Tomatoes does not have enough critical consensus to provide a formal score, signaling limited exposure and mixed reception. Metacritic similarly lacks substantial reviews, suggesting the film did not make a significant impact on mainstream critics. While some critics appreciated the film's artistic intentions and atmospheric style, others found it lacking in dramatic tension and criticized its ambiguous storytelling approach. Overall, "Hidden Love" is seen as a niche, art-house film that appeals more to fans of contemplative cinema rather than a broad audience.
