Elizabeth Weitzman, a film critic for New York Daily News, praised Ménochet's work opposite Christoph Waltz in the opening scene of Inglourious Basterds. Weitzman wrote in August 2009, "The terrific opening, for example, does feature a hailstorm of bullets. What you'll remember best, though, is the haunted silence of actor Denis Ménochet, playing a French farmer accused of harboring Jews."

In 2018, Ménochet appeared as Daniel in the film Mary Magdalene, written by Helen Edmundson.

In 2022, Ménochet co-starred opposite Zar Amir Ebrahimi in the thriller White Paradise, directed by Guillaume Renusson.
