Suite Française takes an understated approach to its period romance, which -- along with strong performances from a talented cast -- pays absorbing dividends.

A sturdy enough but ultimately overpolite entry into the classic wartime women's melodrama, in which war's impact on the lonely heart is nearly as devastating as the havoc wreaked on limb and landscape. Jul 3, 2015 | Rating: 2.5/4 | Full Review…

What could be all-too-familiar here is mostly fresh and engaging, thanks to understated storytelling and a great cast. Jul 2, 2015 | Rating: 3.5/5 | Full Review…

As doomed wartime romances go, the film doesn't offer anything particularly original. But with palpable tension and poignancy, Suite Francaise is fine filmmaking well worth watching. Jul 2, 2015 | Rating: 3/4 | Full Review…

How are you with the old parleyvoo? Not so hot? Suite Française, the latest movie about France under the Occupation, neither. Mar 13, 2015 | Rating: 2/5 | Full Review…

Like a very solemn Stella Artois commercial, this is a golden-tinted saga of everyday French collaborating folk in the second world war. Mar 12, 2015 | Rating: 2/5 | Full Review…

Eduard Grau's cinematography, terrific performances all round, in particular the simmering chemistry between Schoenaerts and Williams, should ensure Suite Française's success as well as adding to Némirovsky's fan base. Apr 4, 2019 | Rating: 4/5 | Full Review…

A muted romance that we never quite buy into and a truncated story mar this all-star WWII period piece. Jun 27, 2018 | Rating: 2.5/4 | Full Review…

It's not that Suite Française is boring, just predictable, a serviceable slice of wartime Nîmes-by-numbers, made interesting mostly because the director, Saul Dibb, has allowed Scott Thomas to unload her most formidable weapon: sourness. Feb 14, 2018 | Rating: 3/5 | Full Review…

There's little indication that this story requires a telling, or at least a telling by people with such didactic inclinations. Feb 22, 2016 | Rating: C | Full Review…

A slight lack of focus is the one real flaw in this deftly acted and visually interesting true story (one I didn't know); Michelle Williams is fantastic as always
