Pauline Kael The New Yorker 12/05/2023
Attempting to achieve an objective version of Kleist's style, Rohmer gives us the surface -- a quaintly amusing account of a woman whole idealism is betrayed. Go to Full Review Elliott Stein Film Comment Magazine 04/10/2018

This picture, all gussied up into stage tableaux, looks like a Goethe House Gala performed in Bloomingdale's Show Rooms. Go to Full Review David Ehrlich Time Out 08/27/2015
3/5
This minor Rohmer may not have much to offer beyond the clarity of its perspective (and the soft beauty of Nestor Almendros's delicate cinematography), but its message will only grow more urgent in time. Go to Full Review Thom Willenbecher Gay Community News (Boston) 08/19/2022
All in all, the Marquise of O imparts a subtle but thoroughgoing feminism, both in its mode of presentation and in its intellectual content. Go to Full Review Nicholas Bell IONCINEMA.com 10/20/2020

Exquisitely photographed and exceptionally acted (particularly from Edith Clever as the title character), it's an exceptional title from one of cinema's masters. Go to Full Review Jesús Fernández Santos El Pais (Spain) 07/18/2019

See more 01/12/2010 Si l'histoire était prometteuse, l'exécution fait froncer les sourcils. Théâtre, roman? Quelle allure le tout voulait-il avoir?
