The Lady Reviews
San Francisco Chronicle
Mick LaSalle
"The Lady" is a portrait in moral and physical courage, a sort of analysis of what constitutes greatness.
Newsday
John Anderson
"The Lady" is a two-hour trip into earnestness, from which audiences will want a little liberation of their own.
New York Post
Kyle Smith
An appropriately respectful and dignified biopic.
Boston Globe
Ty Burr
"The Lady" presents a stately, rather dull portrayal of a loving marriage stymied by the whims of political necessity and fascist generals.
Seattle Times
Soren Andersen
Yeoh is perfectly cast. Slender and graceful, her physical resemblance to Suu Kyi is remarkable.
Chicago Sun-Times
Roger Ebert
[It] does indeed deal with a real life, but follows so faithfully the traditional shape of film biography that it feels less convincing.
Washington Post
Adam Bernstein
A heavy-handed attempt to sanctify one of the most dignified and uncompromising politicians and human rights champions of recent times.
AV Club
Noel Murray
Given Besson's career-long affinity for visual flash and breathless storytelling, it's especially disappointing that The Lady is so ordinary.
New York Times
A.O. Scott
Paralyzes history and human drama with relentless hagiography.
MSN Movies
Kathleen Murphy
Yeoh's serene dignity counts for much, but overall The Lady suffers from a serious case of the bland.
New York Daily News
Elizabeth Weitzman
Such a rare individual deserves a film that treats her not as a saint, but the remarkable, complex human being she actually is.
HollywoodChicago.com
Brian Tallerico
Besson does draw the best out of his two leads but The Lady is a film about an extraordinary woman. So why is it such an ordinary film?
Reel Talk Online
Candice Frederick
Screenwriter Rebecca Frayn's full feature debut is alluring, fascinating to watch and, most importantly, makes you care about Suu Kyi.
Wall Street Journal
Joe Morgenstern
The screen version falls afoul of a laggardly pace, an earnest tone and a surfeit of domesticity.
NPR
Ella Taylor
"I don't like this cult of personality," Suu Kyi tells her husband on the patio. The Lady, on the other hand, is all for it.
TIME Magazine
Richard Corliss
The Lady is ... tilted away from the churning melodrama of Suu Kyi's country and toward the intimate dilemma of a loving couple forced apart by circumstance.
Village Voice
Melissa Anderson
The narrative of the political neophyte's extraordinary courage as one of the founders of the National League for Democracy, who endured house arrest for 15 years, is often secondary to Suu Kyi as wife and mother separated from her loved ones.
Los Angeles Times
Betsy Sharkey
A fumbling and fawning - if sincere - tribute to the living legend and a director who has never seemed more out of his element.
Slant Magazine
Michael Nordine
If The Lady never quite blossoms in the way one might hope, it's largely because its subject has never been allowed to either.
Variety
Justin Chang
"Democracy takes time," a character observes in "The Lady," though viewers of all political stripes will be checking their watches during Luc Besson's dully conventional tribute to heroic Burmese activist Aung San Suu Kyi.
