Movie Reviews

Eye for Film - 9/10 by Jennie KermodeA refreshingly mature, non-adversarial take on its subject.
New York Times - 9/10 by A.O. ScottIf Dormant Beauty does not rank among Mr. Bellocchio’s best movies, it nonetheless still occasionally shows him at his best. His eye for the latent beauty and evident absurdity of Italian life remains acute, as does his appreciation for vivid performance.
Film Comment Magazine - 9/10 by Jared EisenstatDespite the awkward narrative structure, the choppy film serves as a welcome showcase for ably understated performances from veteran Toni Servillo and rising talent Alba Rohrwacher, and a coolly burning Isabelle Huppert.
The Playlist - 9/10 by Oliver LytteltonThe film’s well-written, beautifully performed (not least from Huppert, who’s typically stunning as her icy, grief-stricken matriarch, and the moving Servillo, of “Il Divo” and “Gomorrah” fame), and nicely made, if a good 15 minutes overlong.
Hollywood & Fine - 8/10 by Marshall FineLike Bellocchio's draggy, overrated Vincere, this movie wants us to believe in its depth, while mostly just skimming the surface.
Monsters and Critics - 7/10 by Ron WilkinsonThe Vesuvius of social-psychological potboilers. All the screaming and twice the anguish of the average Italian movie.
The Film Stage - 7/10 by Ethan VestbyAn unabashed melodrama, one that obviously wants to have its finger on the pulse of today, yet unafraid of pulling tricks both sincere and comical.
Village Voice - 6/10 by Stephanie ZacharekSubtle emotional intelligence has always distinguished Bellocchio's filmmaking, and Dormant Beauty is constructed from fine-grained layers of it, the filmmaker's equivalent of a master cabinetmaker's craft.
The Nation - 6/10 by Stuart KlawansBellocchio may sometimes shut these characters in their rooms, but his view of them all is as open in mind and spirit as a film can be.
Variety - 6/10 by Jay Weissberg"Beauty" has numerous scenes of enormous power, though removing one unnecessary plot strand would allow deeper probing elsewhere.
