In Auteil's less dramatic but equally incisive performance, he's a charismatic charmer likely to seduce and conquer.
Marta Barber, Miami Herald

It's a rosy coming-of-age romp that refuses to see the horror even in the severed heads from the guillotine.
Wesley Morris, Boston Globe
Rotten
This Sade is hardly a perverse, dangerous libertine and agitator -- which would have made for better drama. He's just a sad aristocrat in tattered finery, and the film seems as deflated as he does.
Loren King, Chicago Tribune

If you're looking for a smart, nuanced look at de Sade and what might have happened at Picpus, Sade is your film.
