Thérèse Reviews
San Francisco Chronicle
Walter V. Addiego
While there's a certain staid feeling to the production, it does deliver a solid working-over to the era's gentry.
Washington Post
Stephanie Merry
The magnificent nature that surrounds Therese becomes her prison. It's an interesting paradox, but not necessarily an especially satisfying experience.
New York Daily News
Jordan Hoffman
While not a nail-biter, the flowery dialogue (many elegant letters are read in voice-over), juicy twists and moral ambiguity make this a period piece worth slowing down for.
RogerEbert.com
Simon Abrams
It only looks like Tautou does a lot with a little in her performance because much of her character's inner life is implied through pensive scenes of her frowning and deferring her gaze.
Los Angeles Times
Sheri Linden
Miller's film is a work of emotional reserve, eschewing psychological explanation in favor of unadorned observation - of human behavior as well as nature and the still lifes of the domestic world.
AV Club
Nick Schager
[A] static, emotionless saga, which is defined less by zealous feeling than by a dull, decorous air of respectability.
Philadelphia Inquirer
Tirdad Derakhshani
A remarkably pretty, if equally dour, portrait of the bored, oppressive life led by the provincial bourgeoisie.
New York Times
Manohla Dargis
Mr. Miller's stolid approach - with its waxwork figures, postcard beauty, insistent tastefulness and glaze of politesse - feels far too comfortably of this world to mount a critique of it.
Boston Globe
Peter Keough
The film looks great. As for the human element, the mood is more apathetic than tragic, and star Audrey Tautou has to take much of the blame for the film's failure.
The Playlist
Simon Abrams
Therese Desqueyroux,...is not the nuanced period drama it should be but is rather more like a banal, pseudo-thoughtful and monotonous episode of Masterpiece Theater.
Slant Magazine
Tomas Hachard
Claude Miller's swan song not only shares its main character's name but also her tempered disposition.
Village Voice
Aaron Hillis
If the banality of life within the Bordeaux gentry is the point, then the ensuing oppressiveness is immaculately depicted through precise performances and camerawork-just don't call it emotionally engaging drama.
Hollywood Reporter
Stephen Dalton
A classic story competently told, Thrse Desqueyroux is chocolate-box heritage cinema at heart, but a perfectly respectable and emphatically French epitaph to Miller's long career.
Variety
Boyd van Hoeij
Claude Miller's final film is tastefully upholstered, but the narrative generates little heat, empathy or momentum.
Film Journal International
David Noh
This was the director's swan song, before his death in 2012, and I cannot think of a more glorious way to go out than with this exquisitely rendered, near-perfect and definitively French film.
St. Paul Pioneer Press
Chris Hewitt
It's OK for a movie character to be unlikable, but she better be more interesting than Therese is.
Paste Magazine
Annlee Ellingson
Because she's so internal, the shtick threatens to grow dour and whiny. But mostly there's a mystery and an acknowledgement that there's not always a concrete reason why.
Film Geek Central
Austin Kennedy
THERESE is the type of French period melodrama that scares the common moviegoer from watching anything with subtitles. With no real focus or intriguing characters, this movie is a chore.
Blu-ray.com
Brian Orndorf
Miller seems distracted to a point of being uninterested, consumed with making a lovely feature about sinister interests, and it doesn't have the impact it should.
Cinema Signals
Jules Brenner
It's like watching a slow-burning fuse approach a bomb of psychotic suppression. You don't know what kind of destruction will result, or its consequences, but you sense its inevitability.
