What to Know

Critics Consensus

Eternal Beauty deals unevenly yet honorably with complicated themes, elevated by strong work from the ever-reliable Sally Hawkins and David Thewlis.

Eternal Beauty is full of extremely talented people who aren't quite sure what they're doing. Go to Full Review
Mark Kermode Kermode & Mayo's Film Review 10/08/2020
The tone is darkly comedic, and that's the thing that makes it difficult. It's also the thing that makes it special. But the balancing act is so strange...not wholly successful but it is trying something. Go to Full Review

Hawkins is masterly, as always, in a role that demands she calibrate her energy differently in almost every scene. Go to Full Review

Whether or not this is an authentic portrayal of Jane’s condition, it is a joyful and surprising one. Go to Full Review

“Eternal Beauty” is an odd and audacious package built on the back of yet another terrific Sally Hawkins performance. Even when the movie loses its way a bit she maintains a strong and emotionally honest character presence. Go to Full Review

Eternal Beauty gets the balance right, portraying (Jane's) viewpoint as a surreal and scary world of whispers and fridges with dismembered limbs. However, Jane herself is always sympathetic, a woman trying her best to make her way through a dark place Go to Full Review

Kevin L 11/13/2024 I love Sally Hawkins. She's wonderful here, as she always is. Totally captures the fractured sense of a person whose life was permanently derailed by a monster of a mother and the trauma of some bugger jilting her. But I wonder if it wasn't the potential of having that evil bat as his mother-in-law that did it. Thewlis is great, too, as a light of hope for Hawkins' Jane. But then that's broken off as well. Billie Piper plays her right dirtbag sister. Basically, this was huge bummer. I can usually take downer subject matter just fine. But this was nothing but down but for a brieft stretch. 2.7 stars See more Yvonne G 10/10/2024 Just absolutely brilliant drama/television/film... Looking into the life of a schitzophrenic and living in their awful and dillusional world through their eyes.... This was scary at times especially when in charge of a child in her car!!! Wonderful story and the most Superb leading lady who plays Jane... Fantastic watch and thank you to those who produce these amazing films about real life ! Just exemplary viewing See more isla s 09/02/2022 This is very much a quirky character driven drama. Sally Hawkins does well portraying a vulnerable, demure young lady. Its more sad than it is funny, so I'm surprised its categorised, in part, as a comedy - there are some light hearted moments in it I suppose but its more a depiction of a dysfunctional family at large than primarily an idyllic rom-com. I thought the cast did well and its an interesting watch. It became quite moving after about an hour, when things take a somewhat more dark turn. I think Sally's performance is reasonably memorable and I'd recommend this film to fans of hers. A key word relating to this film and the main character is fragility. See more 01/12/2022 It was amazing. I just finish it. I even cried during the movie. It'll be hard to follow if you don't focus on the movie. The music fits very well with the scenes. I don't think it is that "bad". See more 01/03/2022 Loved the incredible Sally Hawkins who never fails to breathe life into her characters. Her performance was what kept me watching! See more @Runes 07/12/2021 2 talented actors submit into this creative mess that leads nowhere. Their performances are convencing but script and it's flow damages this movie severely.
