A Quiet Passion Ratings & Reviews
St. Louis Post-Dispatch
Calvin Wilson
This is a film of subtle beauty.
Christian Science Monitor
Peter Rainer
I appreciate [Davie's] desire to counteract the usual romantic cinematic clichés of divinely inspired tortured souls, but he's overcorrected and created an anti-cliché: the harridan as heroine.
San Diego Reader
Matthew Lickona
The rich imagery and controlled composition seem alternately to highlight Dickinson's unfettered art and to mock her sadly fettered life.
Washington Post
Stephanie Merry
It's not easy to do justice to such a beloved, enigmatic artist, but "A Quiet Passion" was well worth the wait.
Detroit News
Tom Long
Davies specializes in period pieces and here he captures Dickinson's miserable isolation and terrible intelligence perfectly.
Arizona Republic
Barbara VanDenburgh
A delicate and measured drama that plumbs the depths of the poet's strange heart and the agony of her intelligence.
Seattle Times
Moira MacDonald
Stick with it, and keep your eyes on Nixon; a still, gentle-voiced presence whose eyes glow like blue embers.
RogerEbert.com
Glenn Kenny
It is grounded, and made most exemplary, by Cynthia Nixon's performance.
Entertainment Weekly
Leah Greenblatt
Nixon vividly telegraphs both her character's convictions and her deep physical and emotional suffering.
Austin Chronicle
Kimberley Jones
A Quiet Passion's manneredness overwhelmed me at times, but it is very effective - chilling, even - in its charting of one woman's disappointed journey to the rhetorical coda of her own life: "Why has the world become so ugly?"
The Young Folks
Kristen Lopez
A Quiet Passion is about the life we lead in private and our attempts to please both the public and private spheres. Cynthia Nixon is nothing short of luminous.
The Ringer
K. Austin Collins
It's a film made in the image of Dickinson and her poetry, in other words: starkly original, but without much show of fuss.
Brooklyn Magazine
Kristen Yoonsoo Kim
Davies chooses to mark Dickinson's life story not so much by specific events, but by her character, and Nixon captures the many facets of it with bite and empathy.
The Atlantic
David Sims
A brilliant chronicling of a life lived quietly, one that is sweeping in its emotional depth rather than its narrative scope.
Los Angeles Times
Justin Chang
It is through Nixon's brilliant performance that "A Quiet Passion" illuminates, complicates and ultimately transcends the mystery of its subject's confinement.
The New Yorker
Anthony Lane
A Quiet Passion is wittier, in its early stretches, than anyone might have foreseen, but it's when the door closes, and the Dickinsons are alone with their trepidations, that the movie draws near to its rightful severity.
NPR
Ella Taylor
Filmmaker and subject are a match made in heaven that, cohabiting in Davies' delirious head, gives histrionic a good name.
Vox
Alissa Wilkinson
Cynthia Nixon plays Emily Dickinson, whose poetry and life is a perfect match for the signature style of director Terence Davies: rich in detail, deeply enigmatic, and weighed down with a kind of sparkling, joy-tinged sorrow.
New York Times
A.O. Scott
Mr. Davies, whose work often blends public history and private memory, possesses a poetic sensibility perfectly suited to his subject and a deep, idiosyncratic intuition about what might have made her tick.
Boston Globe
Ty Burr
"A Quiet Passion" is the work of a master craftsman whose interest has always been the ways outer reality frames and shapes our inner landscapes.
