Often draped over each other like a pair of gorgeous statues, O’Donnell and Corrin strike palpable chemistry throughout, selling both their desire for one another and the consequent love born out of it believably. Read full review

Lady Chatterley’s Lover has the look, feel, and beauty of your Merchant-Ivory high-brow English dramas. Simply add sex and nudity. Read full review

De Clermont-Tonnerre understands that the lovers’ behavior and Lawrence’s social commentary no longer spur much pearl-clutching, so instead, she surprises viewers by adding uncanny elements to her most explicit scenes. Read full review

Despite the stars’ strong performances and the high level of craft, the film struggles in its final act. Read full review

It’s the refreshingly modern and tender depiction of intimacy and pleasure that will stay with me. After years upon years of sex scenes that are steeped in the male gaze or are shoehorned in to attract the money of horny youngsters who have no real interest in the story, it’s about time we treat sex with the tenderness, openness, and grace that it deserves on film — and this is exactly what Lady Chatterley’s Lover does.

Magee and Clermont-Tonnerre’s adaptation emphasizes the romance of Lawrence’s book over the radicalism of his vision. This Lady Chatterley’s Lover is faithful to the novel, while also revealing how safe, how domesticated, it has become. Read full review

The pretty pictures and silhouetted, sanitised sex will do well enough for Bridgerton fans, but the material has strayed so far from the source, one wonders why they kept the title. Read full review

Laure de Clermont-Tonnerre consegue aqui fazer uma boa adaptação para um romance bem água com açúcar, numa Inglaterra de época.

Retratando a aristocracia britânica, o filme não perde tempo, a cena de guerra em qe o Sr. Chatterley acaba ficando paralisado da cintura pra baixo passa rápido demais, e logo a trama mostra a que veio: a impossibilidade do casal ter filhos, e o próprio marido abre uma brecha para que a esposa possa contornar a situação.
As locações e o figurino estão muito bons, mas o roteiro entrega o enquadramento e o óbvio quase sempre. Mesmo as cenas de sexo soam burocráticas.
Ao menos tem um bom ritmo e há realmente química com o amante, mas não é exatamente uma surpresa, é apenas mais um filme bem feitinho e sem erros grotescos.… Expand

Although it is interesting to tell a tale of female satisfaction, the film is soon overshadowed by a social subplot that tries to give it a subtext that never finds its place. Emma Corrin and Jack O'Connell shine together, but his character doesn't have the same development as hers. Netflix urgently needs to shorten its projects; many scenes in this one are unnecessary. In any case, fans of erotic cinema will find here something that will surely interest them.… Expand

I read the book was considered to be a very interesting sensual feminist look, but if so, maybe I missed it in its source material because what I saw in this adaptation was a story that tries to be both romantic and erotic but drops any depth to become a kind of escapism for those who wantI read the book was considered to be a very interesting sensual feminist look, but if so, maybe I missed it in its source material because what I saw in this adaptation was a story that tries to be both romantic and erotic but drops any depth to become a kind of escapism for those who want to get turned on, but don't want to see sex explicitly.… Expand
