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.

Donald Clarke Irish Times 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. Rated: 3/5 Jun 30, 2013 Full Review David Jenkins Little White Lies The story falters when it runs through its very traditional, even hackneyed arcs ... Rated: 2/5 Jun 28, 2013 Full Review Peter Bradshaw Guardian This gives a new meaning to Truffaut's phrase le cinma du papa. Rated: 2/5 Jun 27, 2013 Full Review David Bax Battleship Pretension 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. Mar 17, 2021 Full Review Debbie Lynn Elias Behind The Lens Renoir is a sensitive and serene sanctuary of beauty. Nov 27, 2019 Full Review Nicholas Bell IONCINEMA.com Languorous, lush, and often mesmeric, Renoir is a visually stimulating enterprise. Aug 9, 2019 Full Review Read all reviews

Michele M 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. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 07/02/25 Full Review Marit Risto F Quite delightful. Just a pity that only the women are naked. I prefer Men, unlike most others... Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 03/11/25 Full Review Audience Member Watching paint dry - an apt old saying. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 02/05/23 Full Review Audience Member It's very pretty. Like a painting, take away the meaning you wish. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/20/23 Full Review Frances H The visual beauty of this film glows much like the paintings of Renoir, and for someone who loves both the paintings of the father and the films of the son, this was a moving film about both life and art. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 02/26/20 Full Review Bernard K Well done, interesting story, and it's all accurate! Rated 4 out of 5 stars 12/30/19 Full Review Read all reviews
