October 30, 2009Michelle did an awesome job as always! And the movie is great with her incredible performance but there's something lacking in it! Maybe the story itself isn't so touching and sensitive, anyway, the love story isn't the best thing I ever saw but still very enjoyable.

Colin Covert, The Minneapolis Star Tribune
Chéri is a sad, intelligent film about coming of age late in life, looking in the mirror and wondering, "What happened?" full review

Stephanie Zacharek, Salon.com

Ty Burr, Boston Globe
If the movie were better -- less swoony, more relentless -- it might be unbearable to watch. As it is, Cheri touches on the insecure egotism of courtesans and movie stars with a knowing firmness. full review

Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times
The success of Stephen Frears' film Chéri begins with its casting. full review

Peter Travers, Rolling Stone
With Pfeiffer, 50, radiating uncommon beauty, grace and feeling, Frears uncovers a fragile story's grieving heart. full review
