Chéri Reviews
New York Daily News
Elizabeth Weitzman
Like the exquisite costumes, the scenery is as gorgeous as most of the cast, providing the perfect backdrop for some unabashed escapism.
Entertainment Weekly
Owen Gleiberman
These two lovebirds are playfully mismatched, and that's just why they fall for each other.
Arizona Republic
Bill Goodykoontz
Cheri is a serviceable period piece, but not much more.
Los Angeles Times
Kenneth Turan
It's the kind of refined, delicate acting Pfeiffer does so well, and it's a further reminder of how much we've missed her since she's been away.
New York Post
Lou Lumenick
It's hard to believe that the smart Lea would remain interested for six hours, much less six years, with the vapid Chéri.
Denver Post
Lisa Kennedy
With nothing truly at risk of being lost, we're left to ask, why are we here?
Detroit News
Tom Long
There just isn't enough beneath the surface in Cheri to justify all the talent on hand.
Film Comment Magazine
Phillip Lopate
No need for elaborate sets: a walk through a rose garden or a Mucha reproduction on the wall, will suffice, especially when our primary attention is riveted by the sensuous interplay of the two leads.
The Hollywood Reporter
Kirk Honeycutt
A smart and lushly romantic film adaptation of a Colette story of a doomed love.
Associated Press
Christy Lemire
The film itself, though, is all dressed up with nowhere to go.
Salon.com
Stephanie Zacharek
Chéri is a perfect example of a movie that gets many of the details right and the vibe all wrong.
TIME Magazine
Mary F. Pols
The movie speaks to issues of traditional desirability and dignity, specifically to the point in a woman's life when she either makes decisions about how well those two qualities can exist together or has them made for her.
Seattle Times
Moira MacDonald
This wonderfully gifted actress, whose beauty has sometimes distracted from her abilities, here makes Cheri something rare and haunting.
Dallas Morning News
Christopher Kelly
Pfeiffer is curiously cold and brittle, while Friend never allows us to feel his character's anguish when he realizes the error of leaving Lea.
Chicago Reader
J. R. Jones
This costume drama doesn't have nearly as much bite as [Dangerous Liaisons], though the age reversal of its central romance gives it a certain topicality.
St. Louis Post-Dispatch
Calvin Wilson
Cheri may be too leisurely paced for the Fast & Furious and Terminator Salvation crowd. But if you're in the mood for a warm bath rather than a quick shower, you might find this bittersweet period piece quite moving.
USA Today
Claudia Puig
Cheri, like the character, is an entertaining bauble without much on its mind.
Washington Post
Michael O'Sullivan
The movie bogs down by going nowhere other than inside its characters, who are intensely passionate but of an era more curious than emotionally relevant.
Philadelphia Inquirer
Carrie Rickey
On the page the narrator's tone is clearer than it is on-screen, where images dominate dialogue.
San Francisco Chronicle
Mick LaSalle
[Pfeiffer's] latest film, Cheri, finds her at the height of her ability, in a role worthy of her maturity and emotional intelligence.
