Viewers are captivated by François Ozon's adaptation of Camus' 'The Stranger', particularly praising its faithful rendition and the striking black and white cinematography that enhances the atmospheric depth of 1930s Algeria. Benjamin Voisin's portrayal of Meursault is consistently highlighted for its nuanced depth, embodying the character's chilling detachment. While the film's slow pace and minimal dialogue are seen as a thoughtful reflection of the novel's themes, some found these aspects made the film drag, occasionally feeling too lengthy or monotonous.
