Original-CinKim HughesJul 18, 2024
It may not sound like a big deal, but it’s actually very satisfying to see game-changing historical women having their stories told on a major platform and having them told well, with emotional intelligence. Read full review

San Francisco ChronicleMick LaSalleJul 17, 2024
There was enough story here for an epic, but Napper chose to make a poem-like movie, one that sustains a tone of mystery and wonder from start to finish. Read full review

IndieWireChristian ZilkoSep 18, 2023
From its eureka moment when Barbe-Nicole develops her iconic rose champagne to its final title cards about the company’s ongoing success, Widow Clicquot has all the same beats as the walk-and-talk business movie that you watched on your last flight. It would make perfect in-carriage entertainment for a drowsy Victorian family taking a long trip across the countryside. Read full review

The PlaylistRodrigo PerezSep 18, 2023
In the end, Widow Clicquot is a drama about turning heartbreak and tragedy into something brighter, richer, and spilling over into good fortune. And it’s tastefully made too. Read full review

VarietyGuy LodgeJul 26, 2024
Widow Clicquot certainly makes a virtue of its milieu and rolling landscape, richly shot throughout in dusky earth tones, and more substantively, of the rather romantic lore surrounding the widow in question. Read full review

Arizona RepublicDina KaurJul 17, 2024
To say Bennett carries this film on her back is an understatement. She takes on the challenge of depicting romance, passion, grief, strength and perseverance. Read full review

Bennett’s sensitive performance pulls us into her growing anguish and fear. Read full review

TheWrapSteve PondSep 18, 2023
The gender-driven power struggles in Widow Clicquot are in some ways the most conventional part of the film, which can soar in one moment and feel routine in the next. Read full review

ColliderTherese LacsonSep 18, 2023
Bennett lifts the story up just like the bubbles in the veuve's own delicious champagne, showing us the brilliance in this biopic drama. Read full review

It would be reductive to call it a “girlboss” story, but it wouldn’t be entirely inaccurate to, either. Read full review

The GuardianPhil HoadAug 20, 2024
It’s not quite the full grand cru period drama from the Merchant Ivory vintage, but rather a semi-sparkling biopic. Read full review

Los Angeles TimesKatie WalshJul 23, 2024
It is a worthy, if somewhat abbreviated, toast to the woman behind one of the most iconic Champagnes in the world. Read full review

The Globe and Mail (Toronto)Barry HertzJul 16, 2024
An extraordinarily French story is flattened into conventional Euro-pudding nothingness. There is little here to surprise, less to even expect and still savour. The performers sometimes, but not always, outwit their material. Read full review

The New York TimesBeatrice LoayzaJul 18, 2024
Ambitious as it is in scope, the film is also somewhat charmless and dour, caught between wanting to deliver the passion audiences expect from a period romance and constructing a suspenseful underdog tale. It’s too bad it never finds a winning balance. Read full review
