The film has a sedate TV-movie quality, unbefitting of the roaring era and its It Girl. Apr 11, 2019 | Full Review…

The movie does have an intelligent TV feel in its technique, with its focus on actors' faces and on acting moments that can be easily seen, even on a small screen. Apr 10, 2019 | Rating: 3/4 | Full Review…

Yet despite the stirring performance at its heart, the movie is ultimately too restricted by its own dramatic conventions, and it only seldom comes to life. Apr 9, 2019 | Rating: 2/4 | Full Review…

Masterpiece Theater's first foray into theaters argues that the venerable program should continue to showcase long-form television rather than expanding into a format for which it is ill-suited. Apr 2, 2019 | Rating: 2/4 | Full Review…

The Chaperone escorts us through a period piece that's often too lukewarm to simmer, much less to boil. Apr 18, 2019 | Full Review…

Stylistically pedestrian and narrative predictable...[it] represents the sort of solid if somewhat stolid period drama that's a mainstay of public television. Apr 18, 2019 | Rating: C | Full Review…

It is not a bad film so much as a disappointing one. Mostly it wets the appetite for a film that is really about Louise Brooks. Apr 17, 2019 | Rating: 3/5 | Full Review…

Norma's journey of self-fulfillment might have been more enjoyable as its own tale, but when married to the early days of Louise's career we can't escape the feeling that something more interesting is happening offscreen while we're stuck with Norma. Apr 13, 2019 | Rating: 5/10 | Full Review…

One of those movies that has an initial premise that sounds so good when you hear it that you end up feeling kind of befuddled by how the whole thing doesn't quite work. Apr 12, 2019 | Full Review…

As Louise, Haley Lu Richardson brings a welcome jolt of joie-de-vivre to her character, not an easy achievement given Brooks' fame. Apr 12, 2019 | Full Review…
