Metacritic reviews

Zlotowski has turned in a beguiling film that impresses as much for its oddly specific and well-researched setting (the ragtag community of lower-grade workers at a nuclear power plant), as for the romance, and maintains impressive narrative and tonal control right up until an ending that falters just at the final hurdle.

Zlotowski's Grand Central is a fascinating film on an urgent and seldom-explored situation.

Seydoux again offers a frank turn, while Rahim and Ménochet add real class.

Some critics have expressed reservations about melodrama and overworked symbolism, but I found it gripping, with an edge of delirium.

A gripping if occasionally overwrought drama radiated by a standout turn from Seydoux.

[Zlotowski] creates a situation, casts it perfectly, and backs out of a fully achieved story. As drama, it’s coitus interruptus, with a Geiger counter doing the interrupting.
