Keira Knightly is superb in this historical drama. It's worth seeing just for her but the entire film is engaging. I see year end nominations for Keira!

Loved this movie. It was a good showing of how even those who love us can emotionally abuse us. It also showed a great story about love, success, and how sometimes men took credit for women's work.

A lovely film.

At the time of its release only two thearters had it all and 40 min away. i drove to watch it and...it was worth it. i love West and Knightley they do a great job in embodying the characetrs ans brining the story to life.

A beautifully produced period price. Unfortunately, they could have done our heroine more justice. Colette led a fascinating life that her first husband was only a portion of. While she did begin her illustrious career with him, she did so much more with her life. She was a huge proponent of feminism and was extremely outspoken about it, a huge risk at the time. I wish the film had showcased her more, but Willy got what he wanted yet again, being immortalized on screen. The irony is palpable.

Yeah, it’s a love story...about learning to love yourself and giving yourself agency. Great film!

Great story, great representation, interesting characters.

Colette is ultimately a feminist tale, but never one that wallows in self-pity or seriousness. It is also carried along lightly by a script with a streak of wit.

Colette is never dazzling. It has erotic elements, but nothing like “Becoming Colette,” which is, on balance, a weaker film. There’s not a single great scene. But there is no scene that is less than intelligent. Colette is smart, conscientious and absorbing, and gradually, in its diligent way, achieves a certain fascination.

If only more period pieces these days were as finely tuned and accessibly pleasurable as Westmoreland’s film.
