Camille C @RT45915064 Oct 18 As a bisexual woman, I really wanted to love this movie. Unfortunately, it feels like the bisexuality was filmed for an audience that I am not a part of. Keira saves the movie, truly. See more Madam D @Madam1948 Jul 4 Seen this twice it is so good. Great watching a young woman learn about her true self & end up making it big. Not many movies are so inspiring to females! See more steve d @RT35616104 12/06/2022 Big Eyes for writers. a fascinating film, well told. See more georgan g @RT98616417 10/06/2022 This film is open about the way bi/lesbian women had to live 100 years ago. The heroine is a role model for the modern woman, not just about sexuality, but to find who they are and live their authentic self. See more William K @Koolbill 09/28/2022 Absolutely captivating. Keira Knightly is superb, the production is ultra-beautiful and the story line is fascinating - especially in light of the fact that it's based on historic events and people. I can't say enough about how riveting this film was. See more isla s @RT89656869 09/02/2022 I found this an interesting film in terms of the plot, given its based on a true story. Loosely speaking, its about female independence and empowerment (or the lack of it), in the time its set in - the early 1900s. I liked the determination Colette showed in the face of the social landscape she finds herself in. I like how she stands up for herself and I felt Keira Knightley did well in her performance, while Dominic West also does well as Colettes husband, Willy, who sounds really quite intimidating when he tries to force her to keep writing on his behalf, claiming its for their own good etc. I especially liked that at the end, we're shown what I assume to be real historical photos of Colette accompanied with text explaining what happened in her life after the time the film ends at. Its always nice to see details about the real story after the dramatised depiction, or adaptation, of it. I say that as obviously I can't vouch for how accurate it is but its certainly very much a watchable film, one I'd recommend. See more Read all reviews
