[[David Thomson (film critic)|David Thomson]] on [[Claude Chabrol]]'s ''[[Madame Bovary (1991 film)|Madame Bovary]]'': "[Huppert] has to rate as one of the most accomplished actresses in the world today, even if she seems short of the passion or agony of her contemporary, [[Isabelle Adjani]]." Stuart Jeffries of ''[[The Observer]]'' on ''[[The Piano Teacher (film)|The Piano Teacher]]'': "This is surely one of the greatest performances of Huppert's already illustrious acting career, though it is one that is very hard to watch." Director, [[Michael Haneke]]: "[Huppert] has such professionalism, the way she is able to represent suffering. At one end you have the extreme of her suffering and then you have her icy intellectualism. No other actor can combine the two."<ref name="Jeffries">{{cite news|url=http://film.guardian.co.uk/interview/interviewpages/0,,582099,00.html|title=Just don't ask her to play cute|first=Stuart|last=Jeffries|work=[[The Guardian]]|agency=[[The Observer]]|date=28 October 2001}}</ref> Of her performance in 2007's ''[[Hidden Love (film)|Hidden Love]]'', [[Roger Ebert]] said "Isabelle Huppert makes one good film after another.... she is fearless. Directors often depend on her gift for conveying depression, compulsion, egotism and despair. She can be funny and charming, but then so can a lot of actors. She is in complete command of a face that regards the void with blankness."<ref>{{cite news|url=http://rogerebert.suntimes.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20110224/REVIEWS/110229992|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110228183421/http://rogerebert.suntimes.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=%2F20110224%2FREVIEWS%2F110229992|url-status=dead|archive-date=28 February 2011|title=Hidden Love Review|first=Roger|last=Ebert|date=24 February 2011|work=Chicago Sun-Times|access-date=7 September 2020}}</ref> In 2010, S.T.

Huppert's work in ''[[Elle (film)|Elle]]'' and ''[[Things to Come (2016 film)|Things to Come]]'' topped ''The Playlist'''s ranking of "The 25 Best Performances Of 2016", stating: "She runs the emotional gamut from one film to the next, carnal, savage, shattered, listless, invulnerable but exposed, a woman on the verge of collapse who refuses to succumb to her instabilities. Huppert's career spans four decades and change, plus a heap of awards and accolades, but with ''Elle'' and ''Things To Come'', she could well be having her best year yet."<ref>{{cite web|url=http://theplaylist.net/25-best-performances-2016-20161222/5/#cb-content|title=The 25 Best Performances Of 2016|work=The Playlist|date=22 December 2016|access-date=23 December 2016}}</ref>
