Marie's Story Reviews
Seattle Times
Moira MacDonald
This film is beautiful in its dappled-sunshine light, and powerful in the story of transformation that it tells.
Washington Post
Michael O'Sullivan
Milks the tears in the home stretch, making little effort to hold the melodrama at bay. The result is a story that everyone can feel great about feeling terrible about.
New York Post
Sara Stewart
Améris keeps the film tightly focused on the relationship between the two talented actresses, occasionally drawing back to contrast Marie's turbulent early days with the beauty of the French countryside.
Punch Drunk Critics
Mae Abdulbaki
Marie's Story is still inspiring and hopeful, although the film is underwhelming.
IONCINEMA.com
Nicholas Bell
Humanistic without attempting enhancement via the usual dramatic flourishes we're prone to seeing in these kinds of explorations, Marie's Story is an enjoyable showcase for two commendable actresses.
Slant Magazine
Clayton Dillard
The film is unable to specify narrative urgency beyond a broad sense of "based on a true story" pathos that's by turns hollowly uplifting and tragic.
Los Angeles Times
Sheri Linden
At its most provocative, it suggests a tension between spirit and flesh in the nun's maternal feelings. Rather than examine that friction, Améris pushes the narrative in predictable directions.
New York Times
Jeannette Catsoulis
Though based on a remarkable true story, this clichéd tear-jerker is barely interested in Marguerite's revolutionary teaching methods, focusing instead on the intensity of her connection to Marie.
NPR
Mark Jenkins
Both [stars] have radiant smiles, illuminating every moment of understanding or empathy. Their rapport warms the movie as surely as the opening scene's sun.
Village Voice
Marsha McCreadie
Rivoire is a revelation - showing what it's like to be in, and then break out of, a world of total darkness and silence.
Variety
Peter Debruge
Slight but satisfying.
Hollywood Reporter
Boyd van Hoeij
Based on a true story that's perhaps less famous than some others but just as intriguing, this serious-minded -- no Helen Keller jokes, please -- period film is nonetheless quite entertaining and, finally, moving.
Easy Reader (California)
Neely Swanson
Despite the familiarity of the story, so similar to the one told in "The Miracle Worker", I would defy you not to be moved by the achievements brought about by sheer will and a triumph of the spirit.
Movie Dearest
Fr. Chris Carpenter
Respectfully Catholic and beautifully shot. Isabelle Carre and Ariana Rivoire give stunning, physically rough and tumble performances.
Oregonian
Marc Mohan
For the most part, it's a convincingly acted, earnestly told drama that works on the heart and the head.
Washington City Paper
Tricia Olszewski
May be regarded as uneven (if you're charitable) or forced (if you're not).
Christianity Today
Kenneth R. Morefield
Marie and Marguerite's relationship is interesting, but it's the film's religious setting that elevates it beyond melodrama.
Spirituality & Practice
Frederic and Mary Ann Brussat
A remarkable spiritual drama about compassion, loving, and creative caregiving.
NYC Movie Guru
Avi Offer
A heartwarming and superbly-acted drama that hits all the right emotional notes.
The Dissolve
Mike D'Angelo
Anyone who's seen The Miracle Worker in any form will find Marie's Story very familiar, and even perhaps a bit rote.
