Tumultuous relationship between Pyotr Tchaikovsky, the most famous Russian composer of all time, and his wife Antonina Miliukova.
Tchaikovsky's Wife

What to Know

Critics Consensus

If at times opaquely and certainly prolongedly, Tchaikovski's Wife elegantly captures a heartbroken woman's obsession with her prominent spouse who struggled with his own censured sexuality.

Wendy Ide Observer (UK) The ambition of this headily febrile revisionist period piece is admirable. Rated: 4/5 Dec 31, 2023 Full Review Anupama Chopra Film Companion The film is a portrait of intense madness and obsession. May 23, 2022 Full Review Mark Asch Little White Lies A visionary evocation of the heartbreak and sickness of a woman in love with a Russian icon who doesn’t love her back. May 19, 2022 Full Review David Parkinson Radio Times Mikhailova is outstanding, particularly in a truly harrowing sequence set in a railway station. Rated: 3/5 Jan 24, 2024 Full Review Hugh Barnes The Arts Desk The film is so lavishly dressed and shot (by cinematographer Vladislav Opelyants) that the human story gets lost in all the handsome but inert costume drama. Rated: 2/5 Jan 2, 2024 Full Review Jennie Kermode Eye for Film The music is an easy choice, but Serebrennikov has found its counterpart in image and in theme. Rated: 3.5/5 Dec 29, 2023 Full Review Read all reviews

Philip T Some impressive scenes and colorful directing, but overall a frustrating watch. We never learn why Antonia is so infatuated with Tchaikovsky or why she so obsessively insists on staying married to him against all sensible advice. It’s great to see the movie focus on her and largely ignore her megastar husband, but lack of context and characterization make it hard to sympathize with her for long. She becomes a classic annoying stalker and the movie loses its drama. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 09/22/24 Full Review Read all reviews
