Mature material in this old-fashioned WWII movie.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Mar 10, 2003

The pace is so lethargic and the focus so diffuse that it's hard to get a fix on Charlotte beyond needless glamorization.

Full Review | Jan 25, 2002

Mounts a romantic drama of the World War II era in mostly glossy, shallow terms.

If this is melodrama, it's melodrama of a superior rank, and I salute it.

While Blanchett's presence is surely felt in virtually every scene of the movie, her acting isn't. We don't connect with her at all.

| Jan 25, 2002

This is Blanchett's film. Her quiet, detailed work leaves you wanting more.

This 'woman-in-jeopardy' movie feels more like 'woman-in-apathy'.

Blanchett, who gets better with every performance, takes hold of this movie with a firm but subtle hand.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Jan 11, 2002

Sometimes war is predictable hell.

Full Review | Original Score: 2.5/5 | Jan 11, 2002

Gives us a woman's view of World War II: There's a taut sense of danger here, and a different kind of valor at work.

Charlotte is another fine portrait for Blanchett's growing gallery.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Jan 11, 2002

Blanchett is an extraordinary actress, and she does what she can to flesh out the material. But Charlotte is one of the least active underground operatives in movie history.

| Jan 11, 2002

This is a movie that looks great, is well-acted, and tells a story that you can't believe for a moment.

| Original Score: 2/4 | Jan 11, 2002

It's that most unfortunate of commodities, a thing of muffled usualness, virtually generic.

Full Review | Original Score: 2/4 | Jan 11, 2002

This is a frustratingly inert story.

| Original Score: C | Jan 11, 2002

One wishes that the muddled script ... had received the same attention as the costumes and cinematography.

Full Review | Original Score: 2/4 | Jan 10, 2002

Rather good at its best and never truly bad at its worst, Charlotte Gray occupies a gray zone.
