Top Critics Reviews

rotten:
Woefully miscast as the seminal 17th-century French farceur Moliere, the intense, black-maned young French movie star Romain Duris never seems more comfortable than the brief moments when he's rotting in a dank jail.
– Geoff Pevere,

fresh:
Like the playwright's comedies, at its best Moliere shows the depths beneath the archetypes.
– Carrie Rickey,

rotten:
Lost in the exercise is any insight into Moliere's writing or any relevance to today, making his achievements seem more frivolous -- and considerably less amusing -- than they actually were.
– Peter Debruge,
Miami Herald,

fresh:
An extravagant and thoroughly irresistible story of intrigue, romance, comedy and artistic inspiration.
– Ann Hornaday,
Washington Post,

rotten:
Director and cowriter Laurent Tirard are clearly under the sway of Shakespeare in Love, but the talented Duris is miscast as the wily Moliere, and Moliere has none of Shakespeare's giddy charm.
