What to Know

Critics Consensus

Appropriately enough, Renoir offers viewers a drama of sumptuous beauty -- which is more than enough to offset its frustratingly slow pace and rather thinly written screenplay.

You would need a soul of potash not to savour the delicious fauna and flattering southern light. But the film never gets far beyond the decorative. Go to Full Review David Jenkins Little White Lies 06/28/2013

Unlike the work of the men who bear the surname - one a painter at the end of his life, the other a great filmmaker in the making - Renoir the film appears to have almost no imperative for existing. Go to Full Review Debbie Lynn Elias Behind The Lens 11/27/2019

Michele M @RT05943730 Jul 2 It's a lovely movie. I didn't plan to watch it all last night so it was compelling enough for me to stick with it. Visually, it's stunning; the acting is excellent; the cinematography, especially when focused on the ambient light, is remarkable. It's worth seeing if you're an art house movie fan. The pacing is slow and that is another reason I enjoyed it. See more Marit Risto F @RT66247982 03/15/2024 Quite delightful. Just a pity that only the women are naked. I prefer Men, unlike most others... See more 08/15/2021 Watching paint dry - an apt old saying. See more 08/18/2020 It's very pretty. Like a painting, take away the meaning you wish. See more Bernard K @RT26636704 12/30/2019 Well done, interesting story, and it's all accurate! See more 04/08/2019 Un film qui tient difficilement l'attention du spectateur malgre ses moments de beaute visuelle. See more Read all reviews
