[Rossy de Palma] brings her heroic profile and bubbly personality to this pleasant social satire by French writer-director Amanda Sthers.

| Mar 25, 2020

Yet it's ultimately hamstrung because all the characters, bar the wonkily charismatic Maria, are absolutely frightful.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Jul 20, 2018

It's weirdly dated, and the Pygmalion plot device and metropolitan sexiness make it look like a movie that could have come out in the mid-60s.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Jul 19, 2018

As for the onscreen compatibility of the two talented actors, I've seen better chemistry at a middle-school science fair.

| Original Score: 2/4 | Mar 23, 2018

Although "Madame" ultimately lands in the plus column, one wishes this stylish comedy of manners - or lack thereof - had a better idea of where it was going and how to get there.

Sthers demonstrates a sure hand throughout, in casting and plotting, delivering a compelling tale of love and betrayal.

| Original Score: 3.5/4 | Mar 22, 2018

"Madame" is less a baroque masterpiece than a subpar reproduction in a gaudy frame.

| Mar 22, 2018

The labored Madame fails to rise to the level of sophisticated social satire to which it aspires.

| Mar 20, 2018

Madame doesn't quite hit the level of biting satire. But it says enough about the haves and have-nots to be substantial in its portrayal of affected candy-coloured opulence.
