Critical reception
On review aggregator website Rotten Tomatoes, the film holds an approval rating of 57% based on 35 reviews, with an average rating of 5.9/10. The website's critics consensus reads: "Joan of Arc (Jeanne) definitely offers a different take on this oft-told tale, although it isn't always able to deliver absorbing drama."[8] On Metacritic, which assigns a normalized rating to reviews, the film has a weighted average score of 50 out of 100, based on eleven critics, indicating "mixed or average reviews".[9]
Peter Bradshaw of The Guardian gave the film 2 out of 5 stars, writing, "I found this film ultimately exasperating: not quite funny enough to be funny, or serious enough to be serious, or passionate enough to be about the passion of Joan of Arc."[10] Sam C. Mac of Slant Magazine praised Lise Leplat Prudhomme's performance, commenting that she "gives an extraordinarily committed, and convincing, performance as the teenaged Joan."[11] Guy Lodge of Variety wrote, "Imposing by any generational measure, Prudhomme's fervid, unflinching performance puts some blood and guts into an otherwise stony, hyper-measured exercise."[12]
