Kate H The acting & casting is perfect. I love long, lingering movies. I am an artist & a poet. AND a fan of all of the literary works cited as inspiration--James, Balzac, Wilde--so Why didn't this do it for me? yes--a deep look at the model/artist relationship--down to the smallest details --the scene where F. arranges his pens, clears the space off surfaces, while Marianne waits -- as if she doesn't exist--is brilliant--but like many of the scene (sorry) just goes on too long. I HATED the sound of that scratching pen! I wanted him to be working in oils :) I am someone who enjoyed "Giovanni Fabulouso" -- which my partner at Venice film Festival thought was as riveting as paint drying-- but there the film-maker captured the still ness in the creative process-- the daydreaming that is the gestation--without boring us to tears. or me anyway. All I can think is that Beart's flawless beauty mesmerized all those male critics. Worth sitting through the other 3 hours for an hours worth of her nudity--. I did love watching Birkin--& seeing the traces of her daughter Charlotte in her-- Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 05/24/25 Full Review Courtney K HOW does this have any good reviews? this movie had absolutely no business being 4 hours long & that old man had absolutely no need for a model; I could've made chicken scratch like that with my eyes closed. Rated 0.5/5 Stars •  Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 11/11/24 Full Review Nawt W One-dimensional portrayal of jealousy expressed by supposed adults with a mental capacity of kindergarten inhabitants, whose entire years-long relationships ostensibly crumble at a foundation in a span of hours because, my dears, art is a window into the soul, and to capture that window we need sacrifices. Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 12/24/23 Full Review Audience Member For a rainy Sunday morning. Would have been a more fulfilling, effective, and honest film if you got to actually see the final painting, but alas, that reveal never comes. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 07/24/23 Full Review Tic Toc M This movie is not for everybody. If you're not an artist, or interested in the artist's process, I wouldn't touch this movie with a ten foot pole. If you are an artist, you may (or may not) like this. It is four hours.......and this movie is basically about a guy trying to make a painting. Stroke by excruciating stroke. His model (Emmanuelle Beart) spends much of the movie bored out of her mind as he works, and you might be as well. That said: I watched the entire four hour movie in one sitting, which is pretty shocking for me. Days later, it's still in my mind. Excellent acting. Beart's performance is particularly impeccable. Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 05/22/23 Full Review s r 1001 movies to see before you die. Rather tedious and I understand that that is part of the point. However, I am not sure if it was worth it, to see the portrait of a waning artist. It shows in detail the artistic process and what it takes to for inspiration and vision. All in all, I have never seen a movie like it, but does that make it one of the 1001? It was on Tubi. Rated 2.5/5 Stars •  Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Read all reviews
