Stephanie Merry Washington Post Early inertia gives way to a revealing and enthralling portrait of the actress. Rated: 2.5/4 Mar 2, 2012 Full Review Ty Burr Boston Globe Her chattiness here is unexpected and disarming, and if the film's overindulgent, it puts you in a forgiving mood. How often do we get to hear a lioness speak? Rated: 3/4 Feb 2, 2012 Full Review Gary Goldstein Los Angeles Times A unique documentary portrait of one of cinema's most quietly enduring talents. Rated: 4/5 Dec 15, 2011 Full Review Felicia Feaster Burnaway.org A flawed but compelling documentary, Charlotte Rampling: The Look contemplates the fierce charms of this mystery-drenched icon. Nov 3, 2018 Full Review Emanuel Levy EmanuelLevy.Com This is only partially effective docu of life and times ofRampling, one of the most mesmerizing screen presences of the past four decades, failing to explian why and how she became such an icon. Rated: C+ Feb 29, 2012 Full Review Betsy Sherman Boston Phoenix Rampling's physical gifts, unimpeded by plastic surgery in their march through time, are matched by a keen mind and an unapologetic approach to life and work. Rated: 3/4 Jan 31, 2012 Full Review Read all reviews

Audience Member An interesting and unique glimpse into the life of one of cinema's more unusual and elusive cinematic muses. What emerges is an oddly uneasy portrait of an aging artist. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/22/23 Full Review walter m So while there are certainly worse ways to spend one's time than listening to Charlotte Rampling talk about her obsessions and her past movie roles(the clips being split between two ages, young and mature), it is sad to report "The Look," a documentary self-portrait, contains much more rambling than any actual insights, as she reports humbly that she was only originally cast in movies due to her beauty. Of course, considering the length of her career, talent must have and did have something to do with it, plus the way she chooses roles, aiming for the controversial ones.(Indirectly, this makes a case for actors being responsible for the movies they appear in.) One of the most is "The Night Porter" which this documentary finally answers my question as to what were they thinking, with it being an early film about the Holocaust, long before it had been commodified. And as far as "The Verdict" goes, I think Rampling was cast so David Mamet would have someone to work his unpleasant issues about women on. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Audience Member An understated and coy look at beauty and cinema. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/05/23 Full Review Audience Member Dull. Charlotte isn't particularly articulate, and her friends aren't much better.
