critics consensus

Seberg's frustratingly superficial treatment of a fascinating true story does a disservice to its subject -- and Kristen Stewart's performance in the central role. Read critic reviews

Critic Reviews for Seberg

All Critics (133) | Top Critics (38) | Fresh (47) | Rotten (86)

  • Kristen Stewart does fierce work as the radicalized '60s actress, but the biopic too often wanders elsewhere.

    February 29, 2020 | Rating: 1.5/4 | Full Review…

    Richard Roeper

    Chicago Sun-Times

  • Seberg's life was quite interesting, but alas, this film is not, and that's a shame, because she was so much more than the girl in that iconic shirt wandering Paris with Jean-Paul Belmondo.

    February 27, 2020 | Rating: 2.5/5 | Full Review…

    Josh Kupecki

    Austin Chronicle

  • "Seberg" provides a chance from Stewart to move from hubris and naïvete, to fear and paranoia, and finally to a kind of fragmentation.

    February 24, 2020 | Rating: 3/4 | Full Review…

    Mick LaSalle

    San Francisco Chronicle

  • Everything about this is so superficial and the dialogue spells out absolutely everything.

    Christy Lemire

    FilmWeek (KPCC - NPR Los Angeles)

  • The chief problem with Seberg, as is often the case with biopics, is that the filmmakers never really find the character underlying the historical figure.

    February 21, 2020 | Rating: 2.5/4 | Full Review…

    James Berardinelli

    ReelViews

  • Seberg is played by Kristen Stewart, and thanks to sterling work by the costume and make-up department she looks more like Seberg than you might have imagined...
