Keira Knightley stars as a 19th-century French writer forced to live in the shadow of her Svengali-like husband in director Wash Westmoreland's empowering biopic.
2172d ago
A radiant, riveting Keira Knightley meets every challenge the title role of French novelist Colette throws at her — and there’s a nonstop onslaught of them
2172d ago
Colette is an origin story, a tale of metamorphosis rather than of already formed greatness. What interests Mr. Westmoreland is how a self-described country girl became a woman of the world, a transformation that in its deeper, more intimately mysterious registers remains out of reach of this movie and of the hard-working Ms. Knightley.

The life of Sidonie-Gabrielle Colette makes for fascinating drama in a nuanced and inspiring film with a luminous central performance
2172d ago
With such a story, familiarity does tend to sneak in here and there. “Colette” has a strong woman trying to separate herself from the pack and explores the gender inequalities of the time, but the fact that Westmoreland concocts his film as a rise and fall kind of biopic hampers the artistry down a notch.
2172d ago
In “Colette,” based on the life of the foremost female French novelist, Giles Nuttgens’ gorgeous cinematography invites us into the lush, candle-lit world of late 19th century France, contrasting the thick greenery outdoors of the countryside with the highly decorated interiors of Paris.
2172d ago
Wash Westmoreland’s acutely told film relishes the messy details and ambivalences of Colette’s life.
2172d ago
Keira Knightley stars as the celebrated French writer in a film set in fin de siècle Paris but with a decidedly 21st-century tone.

Keira Knightley plays the French literary superstar in Wash Westmoreland's biopic.

Keira Knightley’s charms fail to save the timely, tepid biopic Colette
2172d ago
Colette’s story is a good one — she went on to produce multiple works under her own name, the best known of which is “Gigi” — but here it’s shakily told. As a tale about a woman whose life was defined by fire, Colette lacks much of a spark.

The boundary-pushing French author becomes the subject of an effective but tame biopic from Wash Westmoreland (“Still Alice”)
