Summary: A sweeping biographical film about the first woman to win the Nobel Prize, Marie Curie is as much an intimate portrayal of the struggles of the scientist’s private world as of her legendary public accomplishments, chronicling her battles against the male academic establishment, as well as her blissful marriage to her scientific partner,A sweeping biographical film about the first woman to win the Nobel Prize, Marie Curie is as much an intimate portrayal of the struggles of the scientist’s private world as of her legendary public accomplishments, chronicling her battles against the male academic establishment, as well as her blissful marriage to her scientific partner, Pierre.

There’s a lot of labor and conflict shown here, and rarely have they looked so good. Read full review

As biopics go, Marie Curie is a beautifully rendered sketch, rather than a fully detailed painting. Read full review

Guy Lodge

Marie Noelle’s evidently impassioned portrait of the trailblazing Polish-French physicist and chemist emerges as an odd blend of, well, formulae, following a starchy biopic pattern one minute and giving in to impressionistic abstraction the next. Read full review

Marie Noelle fills the story with passion, debate and human contradiction. If the material ultimately eludes the director’s grasp, wandering off on unfocused tangents, it’s because of its ambition. Read full review

A fascinating life is reduced to a series of skittishly edited and visually stylised vignettes that do scant justice to Marie Curie's scientific achievements and Karolina Gruszka's laudably intense performance. Read full review

G. Allen Johnson

A curiously downbeat, rather cold work without much passion or science that portrays a woman whose life was brimming with both. Read full review

More focused on male chauvinism in the scientific world of the early 1900s than on Marie Curie's passion for research, so much so that polonium is never mentioned, the film is not a truer biopic than "Radioactive" (Satrapi 2019), which at least admits to being the adaptation(Mauro Lanari)
