Leave your thoughts about The Conquest.
| Christian Science MonitorPeter RainerStill, I prefer a bit more drama in my political docudramas. The Conquest never really breaks out of its genre in the way that, say, "The Queen" or "Il Divo" or the more fictionalized "In the Loop" did. |
| Monsters and CriticsRon WilkinsonDenis Podalydès seems to be more like Nicolas Sarkozy than the president himself is this political tragi-comedy. |
| Chicago Sun-TimesRoger EbertThe result at times approaches screwball comedy. But no, this isn't deliberate comedy. It's essentially realistic. It's simply that the real lives of these figures are funny. |
| Seattle TimesJohn HartlSarkozy seems to mean exactly what he says, even when he's lying for his cause, and Podalydès has the skill to demonstrate that. |
| Los Angeles TimesKenneth TuranA smart, involving and strikingly adult drama about Sarkozy's rise to power. |
| ColeSmithey.comCole Smithey"The Conquest" is true anomaly in cinema. |
| London Evening StandardNick RoddickNeither hatchet job nor hagiography, it entertainingly lifts the lid on a period which changed France's political landscape forever. |
| Slant MagazineAndrew SchenkerEven as it takes pleasure in imagining the wheeling and dealing that politicos make when no one is looking, it never offers as much insight into the process by which a president is made as its premise would seem to promise. |
| Chicago ReaderJ.R. JonesThis French biopic of Nicolas Sarkozy plays like a competent TV miniseries, moving briskly and focusing on the hustle and bustle of electoral politics as the protagonist climbs toward the presidency. |
| The Hollywood ReporterJordan MintzerAn amusing yet lightweight political farce. |
