Nadine Whitney The Curb Bólero lacks a strong through line to get to know the composer Maurice Ravel as if he were not to be known. Anne Fontaine doesn’t give focus to the interesting and accomplished women featured. The production falls flat. Rated: 2.5/5 Mar 12, 2025 Full Review Read all reviews

Oren K Ravel is one of my favorite composers, but this film never gets off the ground. It's too long, too slow, and the guy's expression basically never changes. You never really get to know him, his creative methods, or how Bolero was created. As the review in Variety says, "One moment, “Bolero” does not exist. The next, it simply does." There were fascinating people in Ravel's life - including several highly accomplished women - but they also get very superficial treatment. It's not a terrible movie, but it's hard to say it's a good one. It just doesn't do the topic justice. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 04/27/25 Full Review Regina K A beautiful view into the mind of a composer. ( I think the last part about his death, was a bit rushed.) Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/08/25 Full Review Giles D Highly recommended. But it's in French so you willl need subsitles. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 08/15/24 Full Review Read all reviews
