Gemma Bovery Ratings & Reviews
Washington Post
Stephanie Merry
How is it possible that such blatant male wish fulfillment came from a female director and a graphic novel by a woman, writer-artist Posy Simmonds?
Newsday
Rafer Guzman
The novel, of course, is one of the towering achievements in literature, and this trivial movie has no idea what to do with it.
San Francisco Chronicle
Mick LaSalle
Like Chabrol, Fontaine has a way of making you laugh, on an off, for 90 minutes, before leaving you feeling a little queasy from too much truth.
St. Louis Post-Dispatch
Joe Williams
Director Anne Fontaine eroticizes her porcelain-skinned star but also adds some subversively feminist flourishes.
Austin Chronicle
Kimberley Jones
One wishes these modernized spins might include less leering at their heroine's rack.
Variety
Jay Weissberg
The script flattens the main characters and makes one nostalgic for Flaubert's observational acumen.
New York Magazine/Vulture
Bilge Ebiri
After a while, the film feels more like a cute conceit that hasn't really been developed further. It's intriguing, and very well-acted, but empty.
TheWrap
Alonso Duralde
Underscores the notion that what we're watching isn't merely the life of a complicated woman, but rather the actions and choices of that woman as seen through a man's eyes and a man's judgment.
Seattle Times
Moira MacDonald
The scenery's lovely and the bread-kneading surprisingly erotic.
New York Post
Kyle Smith
Laden with witty ironies, the film by Anne Fontaine suggests men may not play exactly the roles they think they do in women's lives.
RogerEbert.com
Odie Henderson
"Gemma Bovery" is all construction and snooty winks, no emotion. We really don't care what happens to Gemma or anybody else ...
The Dissolve
Keith Phipps
Alternating farce with drama, Fontaine never makes it clear what sort of film she's making, mostly settling for a tone best described as "nearly droll."
NPR
Mark Jenkins
Christophe Beaucarne shoots the countryside, the baked goods, Gemma and Martin's playful dogs, and of course Arterton with sun-dappled rapture. No 19th-century novelist saw the world like this.
Observer
Rex Reed
A somewhat reserved but sensual and gratifying movie that finds and polishes connections between literature and the screen while further catapulting the wonderful British actress Gemma Arterton several notches up the ladder toward international stardom.
New York Times
Stephen Holden
Think of "Gemma Bovery" as an airy puff pastry, dripping with honey.
Wall Street Journal
Joe Morgenstern
The whole contrivance falls flat in the end.
AV Club
Jesse Hassenger
Arterton proves again that she has starrier magnetism in movies that slow down enough to appreciate it, even if she winds up as much a symbol as her own person.
New York Daily News
Joe Neumaier
Literary obsession proves to be a weak spine for this wry French drama.
Los Angeles Times
Sheri Linden
Fans of "Madame Bovary" might enjoy the chance to nod knowingly at references to the novel, but that's not enough to sustain a feature ...
Slant Magazine
Diego Semerene
The film dabbles in the French romantic-comedy tradition and simultaneously spoofs it, committing to neither.
