Colette

What else can I say, my favorite actress played a powerful bisexual writer, she won my heart from the kiss. And I love her dressing style.

This movie was remarkable and enjoyable. However, a scene in the film takes place in 1904. The piano player is playing Golliwogg's Cakewalk, composed by Debussy for his daughter sometime between 1906 and 1908. It's always fun to catch a blooper. Besides that, I thoroughly enjoyed this movie. The acting by Keira Knightley was sensational.

An interesting story, but not a great film. https://uberscaryblog.blogspot.com/2022/12/its-hand-that-holds-pen-that-writes.html

Wonderful period piece, with the pace of a modern movie. Stunning performance by Kiera Knightly and Dominic West.

Big Eyes for writers. a fascinating film, well told.

This 2018 film is gorgeously photographed and directed, and perfectly acted by Keira Knightley and others. It isn't for everyone, but then neither was the real Colette.

This film is open about the way bi/lesbian women had to live 100 years ago. The heroine is a role model for the modern woman, not just about sexuality, but to find who they are and live their authentic self.

Absolutely captivating. Keira Knightly is superb, the production is ultra-beautiful and the story line is fascinating - especially in light of the fact that it's based on historic events and people. I can't say enough about how riveting this film was.

Keira Knightley was fabulous in the role of this brilliant writer & actress who marries a controlling older man during a time in history when that was expected. He uses her talent to make the money he spends freely while taking all the credit for the success of the books she authors. Thankfully she finds happiness and love after discovering her attraction to women with one in particular dressing as a man…Well done!!

I found this an interesting film in terms of the plot, given its based on a true story. Loosely speaking, its about female independence and empowerment (or the lack of it), in the time its set in - the early 1900s. I liked the determination Colette showed in the face of the social landscape she finds herself in. I like how she stands up for herself and I felt Keira Knightley did well in her performance, while Dominic West also does well as Colettes husband, Willy, who sounds really quite intimidating when he tries to force her to keep writing on his behalf, claiming its for their own good etc. I especially liked that at the end, we're shown what I assume to be real historical photos of Colette accompanied with text explaining what happened in her life after the time the film ends at. Its always nice to see details about the real story after the dramatised depiction, or adaptation, of it. I say that as obviously I can't vouch for how accurate it is but its certainly very much a watchable film, one I'd recommend.
