Critics consensus

“Elle finds director Paul Verhoeven operating at peak power -- and benefiting from a typically outstanding performance from Isabelle Huppert in the central role.”

The rape scenes are neither gratuitous nor lingered upon.

RTThe Saturday PaperAug 19, 2026

Verhoeven is a skilled filmmaker and he directs with a puckish flair, with knowing nods to Hitchcock. But the implausibility of the desire that he foists on Michèle undermines our investment in her character and dilutes our fear for her.
