Critic Reviews

Michael Wilmington

Miller's quiet artistry is at its peak, and though "Lili" is not as subtle, profound or moving a work as Chekhov's play, it's an intelligent, first-rate piece of cinema. Read full review

Scott Foundas

It's the third feature Miller has shot using lightweight digital video cameras, and the result is a special lightness in the work itself -- the glowing images ease into one another like leaves turning in a summer breeze, while the performances are similarly effortless. Read full review

David Sterritt

Splendidly acted and directed. Read full review

Kevin Thomas

La Petite Lili itself is pretty good, but it is also assured to the point of glibness. Read full review

Stephen Holden

For all its spikiness, there are hurdles that La Petite Lili cannot overcome. Abridged and abbreviated, Chekhov's leisurely philosophic reflections evoke a musty aroma of pressed flowers in a scrapbook that is out of tune with the times. Read full review

TV Guide Magazine Ken Fox

The film is, in fact, an adaptation of Anton Chekov's "The Seagull." This provenance also explains why there's something slightly old-fashioned about the whole business. Read full review

Melissa Anderson

True to Chekhov's dictum, a gun does fire near the end -- by which point eye-rolling audience members may be up in arms too. Read full review
