David Stratton The Australian There's a lot of talent on display here but it's largely squandered on the seriously unconvincing screenplay. Rated: 2.5/5 Apr 26, 2019 Full Review Paul Byrnes Sydney Morning Herald Radha Mitchell bears a strong resemblance to Cilento, but the film does Cilento no favours by evoking her memory in this confused, over-sexed and under-cooked melodrama. Rated: 3/5 Apr 26, 2019 Full Review Luke Buckmaster Guardian Celeste lacks vitality; it lacks energy. There are times when one wants to grab the film and shake it to life. Rated: 2/5 Apr 24, 2019 Full Review Adrian Martin ScreenHub Tropic Gothic as it confronts flesh, memory and the blurred promises of sexuality. Placing Celeste in the context of Australian director Ben Hackworth's work. Jun 26, 2020 Full Review Blake Howard Flicks (AU, NZ, UK) Celeste creates a part steamy Southern U.S murder mystery, part Greek tragedy in a space suited for a silent retreat. It's ultimately undone by elevating the problems of bored wealthy people into opera. Rated: 2/5 Sep 17, 2019 Full Review Ethan Sills New Zealand Herald Celeste is certainly a victim of style over substance. That's not to dismiss the film outright. Radha Mitchell's performance as the unhinged Celeste is worth the price of admission alone. Rated: 3/5 Jul 30, 2019 Full Review Read all reviews

Audience Member Parts were OK but it was a lot seemed better suited to soapy TV with emotional changes clumpy and sub plots poorly developed and confusing. The reveal is not worth the weight or entirely believable. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 02/11/23 Full Review Read all reviews
