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

Little White Lies

The story falters when it runs through its very traditional, even hackneyed arcs ...

This gives a new meaning to Truffaut's phrase le cinma du papa.

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.

Behind The Lens

Renoir is a sensitive and serene sanctuary of beauty.

Languorous, lush, and often mesmeric, Renoir is a visually stimulating enterprise.

Quite delightful. Just a pity that only the women are naked. I prefer Men, unlike most others...

It's very pretty. Like a painting, take away the meaning you wish.

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.

Un film qui tient difficilement l'attention du spectateur malgre ses moments de beaute visuelle.
