Top Critics' Reviews
Rotten: This is a frustratingly inert story.
Rotten: Blanchett is an extraordinary actress, and she does what she can to flesh out the material. But Charlotte is one of the least active underground operatives in movie history.
Rotten: It's that most unfortunate of commodities, a thing of muffled usualness, virtually generic.
Rotten: Sometimes war is predictable hell.
Customer Reviews
Wonderful
I have to say I'm confused by the Rotten Tomato score on this film. I am very picky and not easily impressed (I am a film maker myself) and both my wife and I really loved this film. Cate Blanchett is powerful and captivating in every scene. We were truly blown away by her. Additionally, the cinematography is breath-taking. When it was over, I felt stunned that I hadn't heard of this film before, and I'm totally shocked it has a negative score on Rotten Tomatoes. But more and more I'm finding that the 'official' movie critics at the big papers (NY Times, LA Times, USA Today, etc) are really not a reliable reference for whether or not I'm going to love a film. I would highly recommend Charlotte Gray, especially because of Blanchett's flawless performance (so nuanced, very few actors have that kind of charisma and presence, she steals a scene without even speaking a line) and the cinematography is superb.
It's worth taking the chance on this film! Don't listen to the official 'critics'.
Good movie
Je vois ce film dans ma classe de francais. J'aime beaucoup parce que le fin c'est magnifique!
Wow
Beautiful cinematography, and romantic depiction of French country side during Nazi occupation. Cate Blanchett was mesmorizing, beautiful, and captivating. The story was good but a little slow at times. A great epic drama to rent. Over-all four out of five stars.
