Reviews

Critics have offered mixed perspectives on Le Grand Procès de Macron. On IMDb, the film holds a modest rating, reflecting a niche audience primarily interested in political documentaries. Users appreciate the film's passionate and thorough examination of Emmanuel Macron's administration but caution that it leans heavily towards a critical viewpoint. For example, one reviewer noted, "The documentary is insightful for those seeking a deeper understanding of opposition to Macron's labor policies, but it lacks counterbalance and may appear biased." On Rotten Tomatoes and Metacritic, the film has limited critical reviews due to its specialized political subject matter and regional focus, which impacts its global visibility and critical consensus. Some viewers praise it for sparking important discussions about governance and social policy in France, citing its compelling presentation and the authoritative presence of Gérard Filoche. Others feel the film could have provided a broader context or included more perspectives to enhance its credibility and fairness. Overall, the documentary is recognized for its detailed critique and its role in political discourse, though it may not appeal to viewers seeking neutrality or a more balanced exploration of Macron's presidency.
