Reception

Katie McCabe of Sight and Sound wrote, "[T]his stylish film zips all too quickly through the life of Eileen Gray and her famous conflict with Le Corbusier, but shows great respect for the Irish architect's creative vision."[3]

Fiona Rae of Film Threat gave the film a score of 8 out of 10 and wrote that it "is slow-paced but aesthetically beautiful and a great summer watch."[4]
