Alissa Simon Variety Despite a clunky air of earnestness and some soap opera-like scenes, plus the overly familiar arc of a celebrity spiraling out of control, the film resonates because the central topic is so of the moment. May 28, 2024 Full Review Ed Potton Times (UK) Much of its success rests on how Palud recreates the butter scene, and she does so superbly, as do Anamaria Vartolomei and Matt Dillon, who play Schneider and Brando. Rated: 4/5 May 24, 2024 Full Review Jordan Mintzer Hollywood Reporter Like the actress herself, whose life and career exploded with Last Tango’s success while unraveling at the same time, the movie loses its way after the scandal surrounding Bertolucci’s film fizzles out. May 24, 2024 Full Review Max Borg Next Best Picture Still, while Anamaria Vartolomei brings her customary pained intensity to the role of Schneider, her male co-stars appear to be misdirected throughout Rated: 4/10 Jun 10, 2024 Full Review Pete Hammond Deadline Hollywood Daily [Fits] squarely in the Lifetime TV Movie of the Week formula... Fortunately, it is all lifted tremendously by its talented and intriguing star, Vartolomei, who is utterly convincing in the role of Maria without turning it into a beat-for-beat impression.
