Critic Reviews for Marie Curie

All Critics (26) | Top Critics (13) | Fresh (17) | Rotten (9)

  • Noëlle has a dreamy visual style that pulls us into Marie's emotional reality, and we find ourselves captivated by this fascinating, pioneering woman.

    Bilge Ebiri

    Spirituality & Health

  • ... biopic of a French icon that's beautifully photographed, sensitively acted and punishingly dull.

    November 29, 2017 | Rating: 2/5 | Full Review…

    Ed Potton

    Times (UK)

  • A fascinating life is reduced to a series of skittishly edited and visually stylised vignettes that do scant justice to Marie Curie's scientific achievements and Karolina Gruszka's laudably intense performance.

    November 27, 2017 | Rating: 2/5 | Full Review…

    David Parkinson

    Empire Magazine

  • Curie deserves the recognition and there's an honourable attempt to colour in the historical context with references to the Dreyfus affair and the political state of play in turn-of-the-century Europe.

    Leslie Felperin

    Guardian

  • A standout performance from Karolina Gruszka elevates this exploration of grief and love, giving breath to the life of a true pioneer.

    Linda Marric

    HeyUGuys

  • Honestly, you'd be better off finding the MGM version from 1943.
