The Artist and the Model Reviews
RogerEbert.com
Steven Boone
"The Artist and the Model" is a simple, straightforward film about the wonder and awe that the natural world inspires in us.
Miami Herald
Rene Rodriguez
"The Artist and the Model" is a contemplative ode to creativity and imagination.
Washington Post
Michael O'Sullivan
The film's insights about beauty are ... superficial. They amount to such commonplace observations as the fact that no two leaves are alike.
Philadelphia Inquirer
Steven Rea
It is about inspiration and beauty, of course - and Folch, as a vagabond who escaped from a Spanish refugee camp, is certainly inspiring and beautiful.
San Francisco Chronicle
Walter V. Addiego
Partly about the importance of fresh observation, the film has little new to say about life, inspiration or art.
New York Post
Farran Smith Nehme
Dreamily pretty but insubstantial, Rochefort playing artistic brooding as almost pure grumpiness.
Christian Science Monitor
Peter Rainer
It's a miniature art history lesson that is also a rapt communion between two people who, at least in this moment, are joined in the ecstasy of creation.
The New Republic
Stanley Kauffmann
This film has its own nature, almost its own reality. The sudden finish almost seems meant to make it our responsibility to comprehend the whole.
Variety
Jonathan Holland
An exquisitely crafted miniature about the creative rebirth of an aging sculptor, Fernando Trueba's The Artist and the Model brings the same craft and care to its subject as its titular artist does to his own work.
Hollywood Reporter
Neil Young
Nicely elegiac, proudly old-fashioned tale of wartime passions, with veteran French star Jean Rochefort a likely award-magnet.
New York Times
Miriam Bale
It ... casts art as being less about ideas than the opportunity to work with beautiful people and the inevitable temptation to bed them. But this isn't surprising from a film that is bereft of ideas itself.
NPR
Tomas Hachard
Ultimately what seemed like a delicate buildup amounts chiefly to a slow-moving movie unwilling to dig deeply into its themes and conflicts.
Los Angeles Times
Gary Goldstein
The lovely and poignant drama "The Artist and the Model" stirringly presents art, life and death as one irrevocably tangled trio.
Slant Magazine
Nick McCarthy
This safe, solemn tale of an aged artist whose vitality is briefly revived by a pretty young thing is unconvincing as an articulation of the potentially spiritual nature of the artist/model relationship.
Village Voice
Zachary Wigon
Offers as generic a portrait of its central relationship as its title suggests.
Times-Picayune
Mike Scott
For anyone who has actually created something -- or been frustrated by their inability to do so -- Fernando Trueba's film stands to offer a dose of quiet resonance.
Oregonian
Marc Mohan
Folch, without a stitch on most of the time, holds her own against these screen titans, and the luminous black-and-white cinematography helps conjure a fable-like air.
AV Club
Mike D'Angelo
While it has a few lovely, tender moments, there's a definite feeling of "been there, drawn that."
The Dissolve
Tasha Robinson
While The Artist And The Model is about an artist rediscovering his creative passion through a vibrant young woman, it's remarkably distant and bloodless about the process.
New York Daily News
Joe Neumaier
Much like "La Belle Noiseuse," the 1991 Jacques Rivette film it resembles, this contemplative drama washes over you.
