Luc Besson is a great director but this film lacks the passion it deserves. I'm afraid he has done Aung San Suu Kyi a great injustice by making a half-hearted biopic of her life. Unless of coarse it was his intention of making a film about the life of her husband, then he did a p... read more
Besson proves he is not the proper director for a subject like this, turning a real story into a conventional, underwhelming movie and stretching it forever. Still, Michelle Yeoh does her best to confer an aura of elegance and honor to a character that utters cheap soundbites eve... read more
Luc Besson doing a non-fic histo-political biopic? with the lead-lady's fiance, former Ferrari chief, FIA prez Todt as a producer!?! I came into the cinema trying to eradicate as many stereotypic biases as possible, and emerged, less apathetic, and more sympathetic towards the pl... read more
A very conventional, and rather dull, rendering of the life of an icon. The characters, especially Michelle Yeoh, desperately lack of life. Beyond the quality of the movie itself, it is good,if sad, to be reminded of how badly the last elections went and how Aung San Suu Kyi went... read more
"The Lady" is a two-hour trip into earnestness, from which audiences will want a little liberation of their own. Full Review
The Lady is little more than a history lesson - although a beautifully presented one - wrapped in the pink gloss of a G-rated potboiler evidenced in Suu Kyi's and Michael's storybook romance. Full Review
A heavy-handed attempt to sanctify one of the most dignified and uncompromising politicians and human rights champions of recent times. Full Review
[It] does indeed deal with a real life, but follows so faithfully the traditional shape of film biography that it feels less convincing. Full Review
This hagiography of Myanmar's Nobel Peace Prize-winner, Aung San Suu Kyi, is earnest, civilized and borderline unendurable. Full Review
An appropriately respectful and dignified biopic. Full Review
"The Lady" is a portrait in moral and physical courage, a sort of analysis of what constitutes greatness. Full Review
The screen version falls afoul of a laggardly pace, an earnest tone and a surfeit of domesticity. Full Review
"The Lady" presents a stately, rather dull portrayal of a loving marriage stymied by the whims of political necessity and fascist generals. Full Review
