Time Out -
Anne Fontaine’s biopic transforms the designer’s early life into highbrow guilty-pleasure gold.

Entertainment Weekly -
Tautou is a fascinating, unsmiling, petite presence with a severe brow and an androgynous appeal, so much so that I wish Alessandro Nivola (Junebug) were a more robust beau as Arthur ''Boy'' Capel, the love of Chanel's life.

USA Today -
Not an expansive biopic but a fascinating snapshot of a pivotal chapter for Chanel, her formative fashionista years.

New York Magazine (Vulture) -
Surprisingly intimate and nuanced.

The Hollywood Reporter -
Spectacle, a love triangle, heritage settings, bravura acting, witty dialogue, a bittersweet finale: There's something for everyone in Anne Fontaine's Coco Before Chanel.
