The end result is a sturdy and frequently dazzling version of the material that should leave audiences swooning with delight.

Slant Magazine -
Christophe Gans’s telling of Beauty and the Beast abounds in impersonal and unsatisfying sumptuousness.

The A.V. Club -
Without a poignant note or undercurrent of suggestion, it amounts to a world of effects, rather than a world of magic.

IndieWire -
Gans isn’t especially concerned with the outcome this coupling, instead reveling in overwrought and often bloated storytelling, lush details and some of the year’s most unnerving CGI.

Consequence of Sound -
The chief appeal of Gans’ Beauty and the Beast is its sumptuous, ornate production and costume design, and the flamboyant glee with which Gans’ camera captures it all.

Beauty and the Beast (2014)
Beauty and the Beast is the adaptation of a story by Madame de Villeneuve. Published anonymously in 1740 as La Jeune Américaine et les contes marins, it paints a portrait of Belle, a joyful and touching young girl who falls in love with the Beast, a cursed creature in search of love and redemption. In 1760, a condensed children’s version was published. It was from this version that Jean Cocteau and then Walt Disney drew their famous adaptations. Overshadowed, the original version by Madame de Villeneuve has never been adapted for the screen... until now!
