Critic Reviews
-
Liam Lacey, Globe and Mail
The Lady is a slog, a two-and-a-half hour, painted-on-wood exercise in political iconography.
-
John Anderson, Newsday
"The Lady" is a two-hour trip into earnestness, from which audiences will want a little liberation of their own.
-
Linda Barnard, Toronto Star
The Lady is little more than a history lesson - although a beautifully presented one - wrapped in the pink gloss of a G-rated potboiler evidenced in Suu Kyi's and Michael's storybook romance.
-
Adam Bernstein, Washington Post
A heavy-handed attempt to sanctify one of the most dignified and uncompromising politicians and human rights champions of recent times.
-
Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times
[It] does indeed deal with a real life, but follows so faithfully the traditional shape of film biography that it feels less convincing.
