Reviews


75
Slant Magazine - Chuck Bowen
Jacques Doillon's shrewd ellipses emphasize time as a great and uniting humbler and thief, allowing stray moments to suddenly crystallize unexpressed yearnings.
50
Screen International - Allan Hunter
There is never any doubting Doillon’s sincerity or artistry but his film is overly cerebral, unfolding in a series of encounters that fade to black and never build a dramatic momentum.
40
Variety - Jay Weissberg
Rodin is a meticulously reverential, handsomely lit and very dull biopic.
40
Village Voice - Alan Scherstuhl
The real Rodin imbued his clay with reverent, lusty life, while Doillon merely offers a buffet of nude day players.
40
Los Angeles Times - Robert Abele
It’s a movie that already seems like a dust-gathered statue, rather than something vividly, imaginatively crafted to reflect the burning intensity of so passionate and forward-minded an artist.
