What to Know

Critics Consensus

Appropriately enough, Renoir offers viewers a drama of sumptuous beauty -- which is more than enough to offset its frustratingly slow pace and rather thinly written screenplay.

You would need a soul of potash not to savour the delicious fauna and flattering southern light. But the film never gets far beyond the decorative. Go to Full Review David Jenkins Little White Lies Jun 28, 2013

Unlike the work of the men who bear the surname - one a painter at the end of his life, the other a great filmmaker in the making - Renoir the film appears to have almost no imperative for existing. Go to Full Review Debbie Lynn Elias Behind The Lens Nov 27, 2019

Henry D @Henry_Domke Sep 26, 2026 A pleasant, beautifully photographed film set amid the ancient landscape of the French Riviera. More a slow-paced slice of life than a conventional drama, it quietly observes the aging Renoir household against the background of World War I, with wounded soldiers repeatedly reminding us of the war taking place beyond this idyllic setting. Much of the film centers on Christa Théret as Andrée, Renoir’s young model, and her beauty was central to the film. See more Michele M @RT05943730 Jul 2, 2025 It's a lovely movie. I didn't plan to watch it all last night so it was compelling enough for me to stick with it. Visually, it's stunning; the acting is excellent; the cinematography, especially when focused on the ambient light, is remarkable. It's worth seeing if you're an art house movie fan. The pacing is slow and that is another reason I enjoyed it. See more Marit Risto F @RT66247982 Mar 15, 2024 Quite delightful. Just a pity that only the women are naked. I prefer Men, unlike most others... See more Aug 15, 2021 Watching paint dry - an apt old saying. See more Aug 18, 2020 It's very pretty. Like a painting, take away the meaning you wish.
