Absolutely loved this film. Saw it in Princeton over the weekend and was riveted by the story and especially the acting from Dominic West. - @Monday, November 12, 2018 3:32 PM

thank god they didn't force black people into a main role in this movie. It would have ruined it wholeheartedly. This movie was actually a bit of a masterpiece. Very good acting, especially the leading male. Bravo. - @Monday, November 12, 2018 2:42 AM

Knightly has been in many memorable movies. This one is getting warm but not stunning reviews by the critics, you know, those who lament the dearth of movies not based on superheros and CGI. The film is a breath of fresh air. It is on a limited release basis. Colette is a period piece in place only, for its message is as current and germane to women's issues facing us today as anything I've seen in sometime. This is a story based upon the most important female writer in French literature and who was nominated for the Nobel Prize in Literature. As to whether or not Colette will be the role Knightly is remembered for, time will tell, but it certainly will be one of the films she is remembered for. Do yourself a favor, go see it. Just be prepared to have to think a little while you do. - @Saturday, October 13, 2018 6:38 PM

I can't stand Keira in any period piece. Ruins it for me. I wish she'd stop. I liked her in pirates, but it's so much better to have actresses who are not playing the part to get their "pop fans" to watch, but who play the part because they have incredible acting chops. - @Sunday, October 7, 2018 11:43 AM

Sadly, most of America is exactly like the movie. Most white guys will doing anything to take short cuts just to get exactly what they want by taking all credit away from women because most white guys are way too inflexible to give other types of people a chance to have credit for what they do that's original. That evil white guy kinda reminds me of Donald Trump and in lots of ways, I can look upon the white woman as Hilary Clinton as well. - @Saturday, September 29, 2018 3:07 AM

I surrender. Let's just skip the never ending parade of man-bashing films and I'll sign the paper that says women are above reproach, perfect in all ways and the only humans worth keeping alive while men are scum that should be eradicated. I'll do whatever it takes to get the lot of you down off your sanctimonious soap boxes. You win, ok? Women did it all and they will continue to do it all without the interference of the ape-like male of the species. Jesus fucking Christ will it ever end? - @Saturday, September 29, 2018 1:42 AM
