Reception
Visions received an average rating of 3.0 out of 5 stars on the French website AlloCiné, based on 27 reviews.
Jean-Luc Wachthausen of Le Point wrote, "With her blonde grace, her false fragility, her fluid acting, Diane Kruger carries this psychological thriller on her shoulders." François Forestier of L'Obs echoed praise of Kruger's "superb" performance, and highlighted Gozlan's ability to "skilfully blur the tracks" of the narrative, comparing it to Alfred Hitchcock's style in Rebecca (1940). Éric Neuhoff of Le Figaro noted Kruger's "feverish" performance but panned the film, comparing it unfavourably to Alfred Hitchcock's Marnie (1964). Jacques Morice of Télérama denounced the film as having "nothing really original or quite plausible", but enjoyed the addition of Marta Nieto.
