The Observer (UK)Wendy IdeJan 12, 2020
This portrait of a woman pushed to breaking point coheres around a fine, friable performance from Kristen Stewart. Read full review

Rolling StonePeter TraversDec 13, 2019
In Seberg, Kristen Stewart gives a fully-inhabited, body-and-soul performance as a Hollywood casualty pushed beyond the limit. It’s such a stellar turn that she almost redeems this well-meaning but wobbly biopic — which earns points for trying to do her justice. Read full review

Wall Street JournalJohn AndersonDec 12, 2019
Like Seberg, too, Ms. Stewart is able to distinguish herself when encumbered by fairly feeble material. That said, Seberg is a bit much to ask of anyone. Read full review

The PlaylistStephanie WattsSep 1, 2019
With exquisite costume design, cinematography and a talented supporting cast, there’s plenty to admire in Seberg. However, the film’s sprawling and unwieldy narrative is ultimately what hinders it, leaving a drama that focuses in on a single person somehow feeling shallow and impersonal. Read full review

Austin ChronicleJosh KupeckiFeb 26, 2020
Stewart (per usual) is the best thing about the film. Read full review

New York PostSara StewartFeb 19, 2020
The intriguing story behind Seberg and the always-interesting Kristen Stewart promised greatness. But this biopic squanders both; it’s a bland period piece with an irritating lack of focus. Read full review

Slant MagazinePat BrownDec 12, 2019
Throughout, the filmmakers occlude the most fascinating and potentially powerful elements of Jean Seberg’s history. Read full review

The Film StageChristopher SchobertSep 11, 2019
Seberg never quite makes the case for its own existence, nor does it demonstrate to the audience why its protagonist’s political beliefs were so revolutionary. Read full review

VarietyGuy LodgeAug 30, 2019
Every time it threatens to truly pierce the psyche of its subject, played with typically intriguing, elusory intelligence by Kristen Stewart, the more ordinary mechanics of the movie she’s serving get in the way. Read full review

IndieWireDavid EhrlichAug 30, 2019
Sometimes clever, often clumsy, and virtually always denying Kristen Stewart the space required to breathe new life into the film’s namesake, Seberg feels off-balance from almost the moment it starts. Read full review

The beats ought to form a more compelling narrative than they do. Read full review

The film never quite rings true. Read full review

Los Angeles TimesRobert AbeleDec 12, 2019
Stewart is enough of a force to give Seberg’s darkest moments their due, but it’s too little, too late for the superficial soup that is the movie that bears her name. Read full review

CineVueJohn BleasdaleSep 2, 2019
Superficiality soaks the entire film. Read full review

The GuardianXan BrooksAug 30, 2019
It tells us that Seberg was wronged and that she looked really great in a bra – and not necessarily in that order. Read full review
