It stars Guillaume Canet, Juliette Binoche, Vincent Macaigne, Nora Hamzawi, Christa Théret, and Pascal Greggory.

The film's original title was E-book, but Olivier Assayas dropped it because he thought "it was a bit too technical and too cold.

The website's critical consensus reads: "Well-acted and sharply written, Non-Fiction finds writer-director Olivier Assayas working in a comedic vein that channels classic forebears while remaining utterly fresh.

[16] David Ehrlich of IndieWire gave the film a grade of B+, stating that "this breezy and cautiously optimistic bit of late-career reflection finds Assayas interrogating how we ascribe meaning to things (and value to people) in a world that seems to be remodeling itself faster each day.

"[17] Jon Frosch of The Hollywood Reporter wrote: "The filmmaker's interest in the forces of globalization — a thematic through-line in a body of work that runs the spectrum from freaky genre exercises to classy period pieces — indeed proves very much present in this witty, resonant, richly perceptive portrait of people caught in the throes of a fast-changing country.
