Lolallocine (5/5): “The sets and costumes are simply magnificent, the actors let’s not talk about it… I was pleasantly surprised to laugh so much, the dialogues are magical, as a spectator you almost want to join in the discussions so much it’s well played.“
Or light and superficial?
Some Internet users are disappointed, because they find the film “superficial“, leaving “in every direction“. Some people did not agree with the incarnation of Sandrine Kiberlain.
lions (2.5 / 5) : “Certainly a very aesthetic film which takes us to the heart of Paris at the beginning of the 20th century. On the other hand, the personality of the famous actress does not shine through in this series of scenes where she seems to spend her time laughing at everything and nothing. Damage.“
Omg151 (2 / 5) : “A Kiberlain show that histrionics under the pretext that Sarah Bernhardt was an eccentric diva. If you are a fan of the actress, you will be delighted, for others it is often embarrassing and not funny… Otherwise the film goes in all directions, trying to avoid the academicism of the biopic, remaining light and superficial. Above all, it makes me want to read a serious and detailed biography.“
evariste75 (0,5 / 5) : “What a disappointment! I found Sandrine Kiberlain unbearable, and I am still ignorant of the life and work of Sarah Bernhard. What a bore! What emptiness!“
Sarah Bernhardt, The Divine is currently in theaters.
