Critics Consensus

Centering around Haley Bennett's sparkling performance, Widow Clicquot is a visually impressive tale of resilience that leaves a pleasing aftertaste on the palette.

Wendy Ide

Observer (UK)

For all the stirring proto-feminist messaging, this is a curiously uninvolving piece of storytelling.

Rated: 2/5

Deborah Ross

The Spectator

Although Widow Clicquot won’t blow your mind, it is a solid, if muddled, biopic of someone who was entirely fascinating, founded a great champagne empire, became one of the richest women of her day and whom, I’m guessing, you know nothing about.

Jonathan Romney

Financial Times

Bryce Dessner, from rock band The National, also contributes an austere score mixing spare strings and a convent-like choir. Overall, though, Widow Clicquot is distinctly lacking in verve.

What a waste of a good drink, and of this fascinating woman as a subject.

Widow Clicquot isn't quite robust or ferocious enough to fully do its subject justice.

Like second-day champagne, it rather lacks in fizz.
