Key opinion
Seberg is widely recognized as a compelling showcase for Kristen Stewart’s lead performance, which many critics view as a career highlight. However, the film receives significant criticism for its superficial screenplay, which is often described as messy and lacking the necessary psychological depth to fully explore the complexities of Jean Seberg's life.

| Screenplay | The script is criticized for being messy and unfocused, failing to provide the psychological depth required to humanize its central figure. | |
| Acting | Opinions on the lead performance are divided; while many praise Stewart's range, some argue she is miscast and that her portrayal feels affected rather than authentic. | |
