Critic Reviews

The Telegraph Ian Thompson

Oct 27, 2013

Kyle Smith

It’s Margaux, the tragic supermodel and failed actress who took her own life at 42, who emerges as the film’s fount of heartbreak in several stunning scenes. Read full review

Mick LaSalle

Nov 10, 2013

It's good nonetheless, an artfully arranged account of Hemingway's current life, mixed with footage shot by her late sister Margaux for a 1983 documentary about the family. Read full review
