Cezanne and I Ratings & Reviews
Chicago Reader
J. R. Jones
The lifelong friendship between painter Paul Czanne and novelist Emile Zola gets a sensitive but occasionally soapy treatment from French writer-director Danile Thompson (Jet Lag).
MetroActive
Richard von Busack
The historical back and forth wears out this film.
Washington Post
Ann Hornaday
It's a touching evocation of friendship, brotherly competition and artistic courage at the cusp of a new century.
Blu-ray.com
Brian Orndorf
It's sluggishness that keeps "Cezanne et moi" chained to the floor more often than not, limiting its educational ambition to periodic illumination over two very long hours.
Willamette Week
Bennett Campbell Ferguson
Thompson forgets that Czanne and Zola endured because they created. The movie should have tried doing the same.
Malibu Times
Diane Pershing
If you love art, history, France, meticulous camera work and some fine acting, Cezanne and I is for you.
San Diego Reader
Matthew Lickona
The film is sumptuous and sensuous to behold but a bit chilly on the heart and hazy on the mind, thanks no doubt to the prickly protagonists and the breadth of coverage.
Mark Reviews Movies
Mark Dujsik
This story of the turbulent bond between two geniuses ... cares far too much about the turbulence and not nearly enough about the genius.
SF Weekly
Sherilyn Connelly
There's a hint of a compelling movie in Danile Thompson's Czanne et Moi, but it's overshadowed by some unfortunate storytelling choices and a whole lot of Frenchiness.
San Francisco Chronicle
Mick LaSalle
The artist's life as presented here is interesting, and you have to admire someone who can work with the same intensity, over the course of decades, in the face of indifference and rejection.
Seattle Times
Moira MacDonald
Essentially, it's just under two hours of exquisitely art-directed conversation, little of which is especially compelling.
Los Angeles Times
Robert Abele
Agreeable big-brushstroke historical drama ...
NPR
Mark Jenkins
Working with cinematographer Jean-Marie Dreujou, Thompson contrasts the widescreen format with a restless handheld camera and many closeups, so the movie feels both sweeping and intimate.
RogerEbert.com
Susan Wloszczyna
Czanne et Moi is at its most intoxicating whenever it looks and acts like a landscape painted by its title 19th-century French artist.
New York Times
Stephen Holden
"Czanne et Moi" offers a pungent, demystifying portrait of the rowdy late-19th-century Parisian art world where famous painters and poets mingled and jostled for position at dinner parties and art openings filled with shoptalk, backbiting and intrigue.
Village Voice
Chuck Wilson
[A] beautifully produced but dramatically wobbly epic.
Variety
Peter Debruge
An innocuous and ultimately uninteresting look at the lifelong friendship between a pair of world-changing artists, Paul Czanne and mile Zola.
AV Club
Mike D'Angelo
When Zola tells Czanne "I can't remember why I loved you so much," one can only nod in agreement.
The Hollywood Reporter
Jordan Mintzer
Easily digestible though very kitschy.
Slant Magazine
Keith Watson
The film barely even scratches the surface of the animating force of Czanne and Zola's lives: their art.
