Charlotte Ratings & Reviews
Austin Chronicle
Richard Whittaker
A tragic reminder that fleeing a nightmare may mean more than just keeping it in your rearview mirror.
Hyperallergic
Dan Schindel
Charlotte fails to truly depict the famed artist's work and pain. It may just be that no other artist can tell Salomon's story better than she already did.
Less Hat, Moorhead
M.V. Moorhead
The story is appallingly, almost unrelentingly sad, but it's also inspiring, and the animation is beautiful.
Common Sense Media
Sandie Angulo Chen
Little known outside art history circles, Charlotte Salomon's remarkable story is told here in a thoughtful and memorable way that pays tribute to her as a burgeoning artist whose life was cut short.
Cinemalogue
Todd Jorgenson
This heartfelt tribute to a worthwhile subject lacks the depth to match its style.
MovieWeb
Julian Roman
Charlotte is a breathtaking animated film that achingly tells the tragic journey of a visionary artist. The film sublimely uses her artwork as a transition between scenes. The narrative stumbles occasionally but captivates overall.
Punch Drunk Critics
Travis Hopson
It captures Charlotte Salomon's life with truth and respect, and will encourage others to become more acquainted with her and the work that continues to thrive.
In Review Online
Zachary Goldkind
There is no philosophy here, no politic even not an ounce of retrospect is offered, and so we are left with a 1:1 representation that parrots what is now a genres mainstream sentimentality.
What She Said
Anne Brodie
Charlotte is a deeply moving and profound film...
Mark Reviews Movies
Mark Dujsik
Its details about the artist and the art are unfortunately slim.
Film Threat
Alex Saveliev
Charlotte touches upon some enticing albeit well-worn notions of art as a savior, a ray of hope to cling to during the worst of times.
TheWrap
William Bibbiani
Isnt afraid to confront the more morally complicated aspects of Salomons biography, although in an apparent attempt to keep the film tasteful, some of the horrors her family endured are kept so tidily off-screen that their impact is a little diminished.
New York Times
Lisa Kennedy
In the end, "Charlotte" is bereft of the spirit of the artist who made the uncanny "Life? or Theatre?" What an even better tribute the movie would have been had it also taken heated energy from Salomon's art.
Los Angeles Times
Gary Goldstein
For the chance to become acquainted with Salomon's tragic and unique tale, as well as with her enduring output, this well-intended portrait is worth a look.
Variety
Dennis Harvey
This remains a remarkable story, even if told in a less-than-remarkable film.
The Film Yap
Christopher Lloyd
An incredibly revealing and tragic portrait of a German-Jewish artist that demonstrates the power of animation to tell grown-up stories.
NYC Movie Guru
Avi Offer
Mildly engaging and occasionally moving, but it's often dull while failing to humanize Charlotte Salomon enough to pack an emotional punch.
AWFJ.org
Leslie Combemale
As to whether the character animation will resonate or repel, mileage may vary for animation aficionados. The designs are intentionally simplistic, and are meant to be juxtaposed against both the world around them and Salomons intense works of art.
Latinx Lens
Rosa Parra
This film explores familial relationships and the responsibilities one has to bear with caring for elders....Although it deals with dark themes, it somehow felt light with its animation and voice acting.
The Hollywood Reporter
Sheri Linden
Why use animation to tell such a harrowing story? In the hands of directors Eric Warin and Tahir Rana and their creative colleagues, it's the perfect choice.
