Beloved Sisters

Critics Consensus

Smart, vivid, and powerfully acted, Beloved Sisters injects new life into its pretty period tropes and soapy plotting.

Critic Reviews for Beloved Sisters

All Critics (43) | Top Critics (19) | Fresh (31) | Rotten (12)

  • It's epic stuff, and at 170 minutes it's a commitment. Schiller seems to be blazing a trail for German ber-confidence, seeing his modern man as the grand product of all that's been right with history.

    Tom Long

    Detroit News

  • If nothing else, "Beloved Sisters" is one of the most visually striking biopics around. Too bad you have to wade through so much verbiage in order to enjoy it.

    January 22, 2015 | Rating: 1.5/4 | Full Review…

    Peter Keough

    Boston Globe

  • Without at least the tawdry pleasure of a little bodice ripping, the film moves along sluggishly, even though it is well acted and handsomely shot.

    January 22, 2015 | Rating: 2/4 | Full Review…

    Michael O'Sullivan

    Washington Post

  • When an occasional blast of purple dialogue is triggered (such as ''Save me from my passion!''), it only makes you wish for the unintellectual bodice ripper that the movie should have been.

    Joe McGovern

    Entertainment Weekly

  • "Beloved Sisters" might scratch your costume drama itch, but it's not among the genre's best.

    Kimber Myers

    The Playlist

  • If more historical movies were like Beloved Sisters, the term "costume drama" would be less of an insult.
