Community Reviews

Opinions on 'DNA' are mixed, with many appreciating its deep dive into familial bonds and cultural identity, particularly through Maïwenn's personal and emotional storytelling. The film's portrayal of a family's dynamics following a patriarch's death resonates with many, offering both humor and poignancy. However, some viewers find the film overly introspective and criticize its pacing and some performances as lacking. The exploration of Algerian roots and the authenticity of the emotional landscape are highlights, yet the film's narrow focus and execution divide audiences.

👍 Authentic portrayal of family dynamics and cultural identity.

👎 Some find the pacing slow and the focus too narrow.
