Set within the world of publishing, Olivier Assayas’s new film finds two hopelessly intertwined couples—Guillaume Canet’s troubled book executive and Juliette Binoche’s weary actress; Vincent Macaigne’s boorish novelist and Nora Hamzawi’s straight-and-balanced political operative—obsessed with the state of things, and how (or when) it will (or might) change. Is print dying? Has blogging replaced writing? Is fiction over? But the divide between what these characters—and their friends, and their enemies, and everyone in between—talk about and what is actually happening between them, moment by moment, is what gives Non-Fiction its very particular charm, humor, and lifelike stabs of emotion. An NYFF56 selection. A Sundance Selects release.

A new treasure from one of France's most vital filmmakers.
Jon Frosch, The Hollywood Reporter
Sly and delightful... Olivier Assayas and Juliette Binoche deliver a timeless comedy.
David Ehrlich, IndieWire
"Full of humor... conveying warmth and brains in equal measure."
