Reviews
Critically, François Hollande, le mal-aimé received a mixed yet generally favorable reception. On IMDb, the documentary holds a rating of 6.5/10, with viewers appreciating its detailed exploration of Hollande's presidency but noting a somewhat slow narrative pace. Critics from French media such as Le Monde praised the film for its balanced perspective and depth, highlighting that it steers clear of overt political bias and instead offers a nuanced portrayal of Hollande’s complex character and political challenges. However, some reviewers, including those from Les Inrockuptibles, felt the documentary could have delved deeper into certain controversies and provided a more critical analysis. The film did not have a wide release internationally, so it lacks ratings on platforms like Rotten Tomatoes and Metacritic, but where reviewed, it was acknowledged for its thoughtful approach and effective use of archival sources. Overall, the documentary is recommended for viewers interested in contemporary French politics and the personal dimensions of political leadership.
