Bluebeard Reviews
Detroit News
Tom Long
Those looking for a re-interpretation of a classic fairytale will certainly find it in Bluebeard. They just won't find a very good one.
Boston Globe
Mark Feeney
A simple device, the parallel structure freshens and enlarges the familiar story precisely because Breillat doesn't put too much weight on it.
New York Post
V.A. Musetto
Bluebeard revisits themes often found in Breillat's films -- sibling rivalry, pedophilia, gender conflict -- but it remains fresh and new.
Entertainment Weekly
Owen Gleiberman
A movie that has all the when-will-he-draw-the-scimitar suspense of Friday the 13th as made by Robert Bresson. In other words, none at all.
New York Times
Manohla Dargis
All fairy tales have morals and the one in Ms. Breillat's Bluebeard is brutal, suitably bloody and, like all good retellings, both similar to and different from earlier iterations.
AV Club
Sam Adams
Given how concerned Breillat's movies are with investigating primal urges through a string of metaphoric scenarios, they could almost be seen as fairy tales themselves, albeit of a fairly dense and recondite sort.
From the Front Row
Mattie Lucas
Breillat has breathed life into an enchanting feminist fairy tale for a modern age, at once wistful and nostalgic, and eerily macabre.
Lessons of Darkness
Nick Schager
A moody fantasia of barely repressed compulsions and desire.
Slant Magazine
Fernando F. Croce
n a perversely tranquil mood, Breillat fractures fairy tales only to celebrate their power to beguile, disturb, and even kill.
Village Voice
J. Hoberman
Psychologically rich, unobtrusively minimalist, at once admirably straightforward and slyly comic.
Variety
Leslie Felperin
This offbeat but compelling take on the tale, arguably the first serial-killer yarn, emphasizes sisterly bonds but still gets to the original story's heart of mysterious darkness with impressive results.
New York Press
Armond White
Breillat's approach distinguishes her as a provocative filmmaker -- not always satisfactory but always genuine.
Metro Times (Detroit, MI)
Corey Hall
Even in quaint nursery stories, the maxim holds: Chicks dig a bad boy
NewsBlaze
Prairie Miller
Located in a collective consciousness freakout surreal place somewhere between fairy tale lore and the supermarket tabloid serial killers and pedophiles of today, the movie also boasts a bossy child bride who seems to wear the antique pants in the family.
ColeSmithey.com
Cole Smithey
Catherine Breillat's transformation from feminist enfant terrible to formalist practitioner is a half-effort at a Peter Greenaway-styled cinematic approach, but without Greenaway's rigor.
Boston Phoenix
Shaula Clark
Will Breillat flip the tale and have Marie-Catherine take advantage of her paramour? Alas, the plot unfolds as you'd expect.
Bright Lights Film Journal
Matthew Sorrento
[S]omething very different and, as usual for the filmmaker, very fresh.
Boxoffice Magazine
Richard Mowe
Breillat directs with her characteristic flair for getting under the skin of her protagonists while taking a particular pleasure examining sisterly bonds and feminist concerns within the context of a fairy tale.
Seanax.com
Sean Axmaker
Breillat directs it more like a rarefied period drama than a fantasy, stirred with poetic touches and offbeat humor and dark twists...
InSession Film
Dave Giannini
Bluebeard is yet more proof that even the most frightening, misogynistic tales can be improved with subversive feminism.
