Gains profundity with Danish actor, Mads Mikkelsen. [Full review in Spanish]

| Oct 11, 2022

If the aftertaste desired is one of artistic expression taking the place of human emotion, then job well done. But I highly doubt I'd have cared as little for either genius in the flesh as I did for their representation here.

| Original Score: 3/5 | May 19, 2021

Virtually nothing of these extraordinary times and figures is captured in this flashy dual biography.

It's perhaps appropriate that an affair between two people famed for their art, should be represented more through décor, music and mood than simple words and dramaturgy.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Jul 24, 2019

Despite all its pretensions, Coco & Igor is just the same old Hollywood story: a selfish and tormented hero is torn between a ruthless Joan Crawford and a self-sacrificial Lillian Gish.

Stravinsky refuses to acknowledge [Chanel] as his artistic equal: 'You are not an artist, you are a shopkeeper' ... After this put-down, the couple's romance fizzles out ...

| Nov 23, 2010

In the end, "Coco & Igor" doesn't really go anywhere, and it never quite equals the chaotic energy of that opening theater scene. But it's gorgeous to look at, as Kounen melds the heady visuals with Stravinsky's sweeping score.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Aug 26, 2010

Beautiful but indulgent.

| Original Score: 2/4 | Aug 16, 2010

This thin slice of so-called history is both so narrow in focus and out of focus that even the most devoted fans are likely to be disappointed.

...is a curious and moderately interesting film that, like many an initially torrid affair, eventually devolves into desultory ennui

| Original Score: 85/100 | Aug 13, 2010

It's beautifully shot and acted, but as with Coco Before Chanel last year, the one thing audiences will most want to know goes unanswered again: What makes this remarkable woman tick?

Full Review | Original Score: 2.5/4 | Aug 13, 2010

It's well-shot and stylish, but slow and rather dull, with emotionally distant characters and a weak ending.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Aug 12, 2010

Mouglalis lacks Audrey Tautou's feisty pluck but makes up for it with Gallic froideur, while Mads Mikkelsen broods as a tortured artist.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Aug 12, 2010

This French film's beginning is as brilliant as anything I've seen all year; unfortunately, most of the rest of the movie never lives up to that.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Aug 11, 2010

Refuses to dumb down its subjects for the sake of easy accessibility (the actors are truthful rather than likeable).

| Original Score: 4/5 | Aug 9, 2010

Stilted performances and an odd whimper of an ending are further flaws in this good-looking but turgid period piece.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Aug 9, 2010

The whole movie has the immaculate visual gloss of a Chanel advert, which is no bad thing.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Aug 6, 2010

While it's not a particularly imaginative movie, it's a great-looking one...

| Original Score: 3/5 | Aug 6, 2010

It's a tragic and sophisticated love story.
