Corsage

"A brilliant Vicky Krieps performance, ample surprises and a series of playful anachronisms elevate Marie Kreutzer’s period drama about a 19th century Empress above the ordinary. That, and a fine soundtrack to boot."
★★★★ Lou Thomas, Empire Magazine

"For all the period trappings that do appear on screen, it’s also a story which is clearly unfolding in a familiar world."
★★★★ Robbie Collin, Daily Telegraph

"Krieps gives an exhilaratingly fierce, uningratiating performance."
★★★★ Peter Bradshaw, The Guardian

"If Elisabeth was a film star before films, Krieps is one now: the jewel in a movie that dares question the very point of crowns."
★★★★ Danny Leigh, Financial Times

"Dramatic complexity is found in Elisabeth’s capacity to wrestle with her own myth while bucking against the demands of tradition."
★★★★ Kevin Maher, Times (UK)

"It’s riveting stuff, aided by Vicky Krieps’s bold and brilliant turn."
★★★★ Anna Smith, Time Out
