Georges Duroy travels through 1890s Paris, from cockroach ridden garrets to opulent salons, using his wits and powers of seduction to rise from poverty to wealth, from a prostitute’s embrace to passionate trysts with wealthy beauties, in a world where politics and media jostle for influence, where sex is power and celebrity an obsession.

Top Critics Reviews

rotten:
Good actors flit in and out of the movie - particularly Kristin Scott Thomas and Colm Meaney - but no one seems able to conquer the essential silliness of it all...
– Moira MacDonald,

rotten:
Pattinson's passion is bloodless, his rakish George Duroy a font of undelivered potential.

rotten:
The women are all elegant and intelligent, they know the ways of the world, and they know Georges' history. Why do they find him attractive? We don't, and that failure is the downfall of the film.
– Roger Ebert,
Chicago Sun-Times,
21 Jun 2012
rotten:
The supposedly cunning protagonist registers as a cipher, and the directors' tendency to shoot dialogue scenes in close-up blunts any understanding of the social milieu he's trying to conquer.

rotten:
"Bel Ami" is a handsome production, yet riddled with weaknesses.
