A Jewish girl in nineteenth century London, dreams of becoming a stage actress.
Leave your thoughts about Esther Kahn.
| Dallas Morning NewsRasmi SimhanThe narrator and the other characters try to convince us that acting transfigures Esther, but she's never seen speaking on stage; one feels cheated, and Esther seems to remain an unchanged dullard. |
| Planet Sick-BoyJon PopickThe biggest problem I have (other than the very sluggish pace) is we never really see her Esther blossom as an actress, even though her talent is supposed to be growing. |
| New York ObserverAndrew SarrisMs. Phoenix is completely lacking in charm and charisma, and is unable to project either Esther's initial anomie or her eventual awakening. |
| Los Angeles TimesKevin ThomasBegins as a shadowy film that progresses from dark to increasing light. It has been stunningly photographed by Eric Gautier and has a wonderfully expressive score composed by Howard Shore. |
| Boxoffice MagazineEd ScheidLike its title character, Esther Kahn is unusual but unfortunately also irritating. |
| Film Journal InternationalEric MonderA film worthy of comparison to Truffaut's best cinematic poems. |
| User ReviewChristophe COnce more, a beautiful film of Arnaud Desplechin. In the particular historical context of the jewish community of London at the beginning of the twentieth century, the story of the maturation of a young actress and how personal experiences may be fruitful to improve your play. |
| User ReviewMoura Tun film comme une révélation.. sublime.. |
| User ReviewIsabelle P"Esther kahn" est long. Long comme une gestation qui n'enfinirait pas d'arriver à son terme. Embryon,Esther est une petite chose insignifiante, improbable. Lorsque foetus, elle s'accroche à cette vie dont elle ignore tout, Esther devient étrange, prometteuse. La veille de sa naissance son cordon ombilical a failli l'étrangler et c'est finalement dans la douleur qu'Esther découvre la lumiere. Domage que Desplechin ait rate cette naissance. |
| User ReviewNguyen Thuy HThis film was way too tedious and long for a extremely simple concept: the rise and fall of a theater actress. |
