| Riot MaterialKristy PuchkoWestmoreland has made a beautiful film that is not only a radiant tribute to its subject, but also to his late husband. |
| The Mary SuePrincess WeekesKeira Knightley is phenomenal, and it can not be understated how well she carries the movie. She masterfully transitions from metaphorical childhood into adulthood, not to mention capturing the charm and intelligence of someone like Colette. |
| Refinery29Anne Cohen[It's] a thoroughly enjoyable, thought-provoking film that will have you question what you know about the past, and how it bleeds into our present -- and possibly our future. |
| Minneapolis Star TribuneColin CovertVisually delightful, deliciously funny and delectably bawdy, "Colette" earns Keira Knightley official status as queen of the period film. |
| Shadows on the WallRich ClineWhat starts as a typical high-end period drama, with sumptuous sets and costumes, especially vivid cinematography... and surging music... becomes increasingly subversive. |
| ObserverRex ReedThe best and most lavishly appointed, gorgeously photographed period movie in years. |
| MoviejawnDeborah KriegerA more conventional biopic would try to tell the whole story of the life of the writer born Sidonie-Gabrielle Colette, rushing through her exciting and scandalous life until we get Knightley slathered in old-age makeup, Going For That Oscar. |
| The Arts DeskAdam SweetingThis is a shrewdly contemporary-feeling story of female self-determination in a world of stultifying male privilege, though the sparkling script and dynamic performances never make it feel like propaganda or special pleading. |
| La Nación (Costa Rica)William VenegasColette becomes an intelligent discourse on how - in a patriarchal society - the genius of talented women is not easily recognized, but, on the contrary, tends to be invisible. [Full review in Spanish] |
| ComicsverseTim StevensCOLETTE is the rare film that overcomes a personal malaise [for historical biopics]. Skillful cinematography, excellent performances, and a willingness not to sanitize things are all to the good in this effort. |
