The film follows both women as they contend with the ups and downs of their individual lives, with Véronique embarking on an unusual romance with Alexandre Fabbri, a puppeteer who may be able to help her with her existential issues.

Top Critics Reviews

fresh:
The parts do not quite fit, and anyway this is not a puzzle to be assembled. It is a romance about those moments we all sometimes have when we think we see ourselves at a distance.
– Roger Ebert,
Chicago Sun-Times,
1 Jan 2000
fresh:
It operates purely on visual juxtapositions, emotion and the presence of lead actress Irene Jacob. In its own terms, it's subtly precious.
– Desson Thomson,
Washington Post,

fresh:
A mesmerizing poetic work composed in an eerie minor key.
– Hal Hinson,

fresh:
Don't even attempt to resolve that paradox, and The Double Life of Veronique will work on its own poetic terms.
– Caryn James,
New York Times,

fresh:
We see through a glass darkly, and often confusingly, but at least we see.
