Corsage

Though many may well appreciate the film’s deliberate distortions and its rewriting of history, I found Corsage fascinating and irritating in more or less equal amounts.

Vicky Krieps, in a spectacular performance, illuminates a rather trudging narrative. Sisi spends much of the film gasping for breath; the rest she spends pining, weeping, brooding and rebelling.

Corsage is a masterful and melancholy meditation on loneliness with a sucker punch of an ending.

A very powerful story that's smushing a couple things together that might not necessarily go together, but worked for me anyway.

Despite the film’s tendency to drag, Vicky Krieps remains compulsively watchable, as always. She almost saves the movie.

While some factual details could have actually helped the film, “Corsage” is still a fascinating commentary about celebrity...

It pisses me off when they take historical figures and change things that are facts

Vicki Krieps carried the movie for me

A crowning achievement [for star Vicky Krieps] in a short career almost solely composed of great performances.

It relies on repetitive cinematic resources such as the constant use of general long shots -which many will find "slow"-, and a direction that places too much on its protagonist, who is in absolutely every scene of the film. [Full review in Spanish]
