Leave your thoughts about Moliere.
| Philadelphia InquirerCarrie RickeyThough it might be Moliere for Dummies, it's infinitely more fun than French director Ariane Mnouchkine's tedious 1978 film portrait, a Moliere for Smarties that ran four hours plus and, like Tirard's movie, explored the comedy of tragedy. |
| Portland OregonianMarc MohanSometimes it's fun to put on costumes and wigs and just goof around. |
| The Hollywood ReporterBernard BesserglikWitty, enjoyable costume drama imagines formative episode in life of French comedy giant. |
| VarietyLisa NesselsonRomance, creativity, subterfuge and repartee are among the pleasures to be had in Moliere, a consistently diverting, bittersweet costumer. |
| Washington PostAnn HornadayAn extravagant and thoroughly irresistible story of intrigue, romance, comedy and artistic inspiration. |
| Christian Science MonitorPeter RainerAs Molière, Romain Duris is frisky and, playing the wife of his benefactor, Laura Morante proves once again that she is one of the most intelligent and attractive actresses in the world. |
| New York Daily NewsElizabeth WeitzmanThe actors elevate what might have been fluff into a genuinely moving tale, and the action is so much fun that it doesn't even matter if you've seen Molière's plays before. |
| The A.V. ClubScott TobiasA Molière this good deserves a more substantive portrait, but this one will do for now. |
| Seattle Post-IntelligencerBill WhiteThe meshing of Moliere and Tartuffe into one character creates so many complications and loose ends that it is a fool's errand to try to make sense of the story. |
| The New YorkerAnthony LaneYet the film, directed by Laurent Tirard, has something. To be exact, it has Fabrice Luchini and Laura Morante, as M. and Mme. Jourdain. |
