Trevor Johnston Time Out 12/19/2008
3/6
The result is approachable for newcomers, but with Dornhelm's camera keeping a close watch on group dynamics, it'll remind old hands to look beyond the creamy melodies. Go to Full Review James Christopher The Times (UK) 12/19/2008
2/5
Robert Dornhelm's chocolate-box production of Puccini's most popular opera, La Bohème, is far more enjoyable when you close your eyes. Go to Full Review Peter Bradshaw Guardian 12/19/2008
2/5
Cinema unfortunately magnifies opera's convention of very broad acting, especially that of the minor players who have nothing to do but look on, do big "reaction" faces, and virtually sing "Rhubarb, rhubarb" to each other. Go to Full Review Stella Papamichael Film4 12/19/2008

Rest assured, there's no lack of gusto here, director Dornhelm complementing the virtuosity of his performers with pleasing camerawork and subtle stylistic flourishes (colour fades, split screens, and an impressively stark finale). Go to Full Review The Sun (UK) 12/19/2008

The vocals of Anna Netrebko as Mimi and Rolando Villazon as Rodolfo are certainly powerful. But powerful singing alone does not make for a powerful movie. Go to Full Review Read all reviews
