Marguerite's reviews
Media reviews
Variety
The flipside of his 2006 'The Singer', in which a musical talent is forgotten by his public, Xavier Giannoli's exquisite satire thrusts an amateur soprano onto the stage.
Screen Daily
The bittersweet fact that money can buy many things but love and talent aren?t among them is explored with often-thrilling artistry in Marguerite.
El País
Each creature cast is composed Giannoli admirably: "Marguerite does not deserve an article deserves a poem." Or this magnificent film.
Clarin
Catherine Frot creates a creature which is impossible not to laugh, but also promotes understanding and grief.
The A.V. Club
It?s hard to imagine anyone but Frot, who won a César for playing Marguerite, at the center of this movie. The actress, in her late 50s, has a cherubic face that perfectly matches the character?s blinkered worldview
El Mundo
A particular and very funny meditation on art (...) A gentle fable (you know, the king is naked) about the truth, recognition and imposture.
La Vanguardia
Giannoli has sensitivity and wisdom to face disappointment and deceit surrounding Marguerite as something beautiful in itself.
The Washington Post
In the end, Marguerite isn?t a comedy so much as a love story. True love, it seems, isn?t just blind; it must be deaf, too.
Fotogramas
Marguerite gets wriggle deftly between the noisy farce and the intimate drama.
ABC
A story that is pasted with perfect balance comedy and drama, the ridiculous and the great harmony and confusion.
