Cézanne and I's reviews
Media reviews
New York Times
'Cézanne et Moi' offers a pungent, demystifying portrait of the rowdy late-19th-century Parisian art world where famous painters and poets mingled and jostled for position at dinner parties and art openings filled with shoptalk, backbiting and intrigue.
Los Angeles Times
It?s a breezy efficiency at work in managing the hot arguments, bruised egos and reconciliations.
Variety
The cinematic equivalent of calendar art.
The A.V. Club
Intensive research has killed many a biopic, but 'Cézanne Et Moi', which recounts the tempestuous lifelong friendship between Paul Cézanne and Émile Zola, labors even more tediously than most to accommodate personal details, whether or not those details serve the narrative.
The Hollywood Reporter
Thompson?s heavy-handed storytelling, along with a nonstop score of pure mush, brings this closer to telenovela territory than to the Louvre.
