      What to Know

      Critics Consensus

      Not as charming as it could have been, Triumph of Love plays too broadly and amounts to little more than a trifle.

      Audience Member Terrifically charming and capturing both the lightness and the composure of 18th-century French art. I'll admit that any film that uses Rameau's music so prominently gets points from me. Also, if I ever win the lottery, I will tear down every other house on the block and build Ben Kingsley's philosophic retreat where I will wear his Turkish costume. (Tthose critics who found it artificial seem to have totally missed the point.) Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/20/23 Full Review Audience Member Rather silly plot, childish drama Rated 2 out of 5 stars 02/13/23 Full Review Audience Member (***): [img]http://images.rottentomatoes.com/images/user/icons/icon14.gif[/img] Not really what I was expecting. A strong cast and eclectic direction really made the film really work for me. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/18/23 Full Review Audience Member Triumph of stupidity! Maybe 300 years ago this would have been entertaining when it was first staged ..but not now! Rated 1 out of 5 stars 01/12/23 Full Review Audience Member well umn just seen this movie 4 the 1st time n think that this is a good movie 2 watch....its got a good cast of actors/actressess throughout this movie.....i think that ben kingsley, fiona shaw, ignazio oliva, jay rodan, luis molteni, mira sorvino, rachael stirling play good roles/parts thorughout this movie....i think that the director of this romance/comedy/drama movie had done a good job of directing this movie because you never know what 2 expect throughout this movie....i think that this is a great movie 2 watch its a really enjoyable comedy/romance movie 2 watch with a good cast throughout this movie Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/27/23 Full Review Audience Member This is simply a later reworking of Shakespearian romantic comedies and the film adaptation also represents this style. It is however very dull, devoid of pace or zest. Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 02/06/23 Full Review Read all reviews Post a rating

      Nell Minow Common Sense Media Okay princess story -- nothing special. Rated: 3/5 Dec 29, 2010 Full Review Jonathan Rosenbaum Chicago Reader I was periodically put off by a certain self-consciousness of delivery. Dec 7, 2007 Full Review Geoff Andrew Time Out Great fun. Jun 24, 2006 Full Review James Mottram The List This story of false identities set in the grounds of a luxurious (and remarkably empty) stately home feels like a rehearsal for the real thing. Rated: 1/5 Apr 22, 2019 Full Review Mark Halverson Sacramento News & Review Rated: 3/5 Aug 7, 2008 Full Review David Noh Film Journal International The characters jabber away, the premise becomes ever more improbable, and you may well find yourself drifting to sleep.
