3.5/4
But in a gorgeous period piece that is never boring, you can’t deny the entertainment value of Madame du Barry, one of the most captivating women since Madame Bovary, and all the more fascinating because she was real. Go to Full Review Sheila O'Malley RogerEbert.com May 5, 2024

[T]he story's intriguing complexities are smoothed over, submerged, and deemed less interesting than the lovers' stunning surroundings. Go to Full Review Thelma Adams AARP Movies for Grownups May 3, 2024
4/5
The tableaux are stunning, the costumes surreal and truffle-rich, but the film doesn’t let period details obscure the scandalous love story at its royal center. A warm, scented bath of a movie. Go to Full Review Diego Batlle Otroscines.com Jan 14, 2025
2.5/5
