Reviews for Beauty in Trouble
It is the depth of the characters coupled with the breadth of the acting talent that make this film so watchable.
08/23/07
A vivid, nuanced and sweetly forgiving study in moral ambiguity.
06/19/08
It's enthralling, human drama of the kind that's become sort of an old school pleasure.
08/01/08
While this seems like familiar territory, in the hands of director Jan Hrebejk and his longtime screenwriting partner, Petr Jarchovský, it's an engrossing, layered story of the ill-fitting choices and compromises everyone makes.
04/03/09
Characters burst out laughing in the middle of sadness or decide to have sex in the middle of a fight, and somehow, it all makes sense.

Beauty in Trouble is the sort of film that sits with you days after viewing
02/02/08
Deeply involving tale of a Czech family.

[A] masterful multicharacter drama.
07/07/06
Excellent ensemble dramedy, which avoids mawkishness while keeping its characters complex and treating even the least likable of them with a welcome degree of empathy.
04/04/09
A poignant and well-acted drama about the trouble some people have accepting the kindness and good fortune which comes their way.
06/12/08
A stunning feature film that at base asks the question, "What should a woman choose: an unpredictable life with a sexual dynamo, or a stable relationships with a much older man?"
06/04/08
Beauty in Trouble uses the changing moods of water as both metaphor and frame for the infinite adaptability of human emotions.
06/13/08
Top CriticComedy and chemistry make for an intoxicating mix in this acerbic, knowing character study from Czech director Jan Hrebejk and screenwriter Petr Jarchovsky.
10/18/08
Top CriticBeauty in Trouble uses another kind of catastrophe to reveal the true nature of its central characters.
03/12/09
One of those movies where a woman has to choose between financial security and a serious deep ***king.
09/10/06
For a class-conscious farce that’s at least serious enough to borrow its title from Robert Graves, it’s impressively unaffected and utterly watchable.
12/18/08
Impressive for its mastery, intelligence, and ambition in juggling intricate plot strands and memorable characters.
12/09/08
Top CriticBeauty in Trouble is a fairly conventional story about the conflicting pulls of sexual dependency and financial security, but the movie is lifted out of the ordinary by Schmitzer’s turn as the grandfather from hell.
