Mike Massie Gone With The Twins The performances are fine and the weightiness of the subject matter is evident, but the script is routine and sterile, carrying on too long for the pacing to maintain interest. Rated: 5/10 Mar 17, 2025 Full Review Mattie Lucas From the Front Row First and foremost a love story between Marie and her husband Pierre, but LeRoy wisely blends their burgeoning and deepening love into the wonder of scientific discovery. Rated: 3/4 Jun 23, 2021 Full Review Elena de la Torre Cine-Mundial Has exceptional merit. [Full review in Spanish] Sep 13, 2019 Full Review Emanuel Levy EmanuelLevy.Com With an eye on the Oscars, this typical MGM biopic of the 1940s, a chronicle of the famous French scientists, is middlebrow and inspirational, teaming for the third time Greer Garson and Walter Pidgeon. Rated: B- Mar 25, 2009 Full Review David Nusair Reel Film Reviews ...undone by its emphasis on scientific matters and unmistakable Oscar-bait sort of vibe. Rated: 2/4 Feb 14, 2007 Full Review Christopher Null Filmcritic.com one of the most engaging biopics of its era Rated: 4/5 Feb 6, 2007 Full Review Read all reviews

steve d Powerful in every aspect of the film. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 03/30/23 Full Review Audience Member The best inspiring movie ever made! With the best movie character ever portrayed: Greer Garson as Marie Curie! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/26/23 Full Review ashley h Madame Currie is an amazing film. It is about Marie who is an impoverished student living in Paris. Greer Garson and Walter Pidgeon give excellent performances. The screenplay is well written. Mervyn LeRoy did a great job directing this movie. I enjoyed watching this motion picture because of the drama and romance. Madame Curie is a must see. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Audience Member A story everyone should be familiar with, even if this version is slightly whitewashed by the author - the Curie's younger daughter that didn't get her own Nobel. Such a wonderful cast! Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/25/23 Full Review Audience Member It was hard not to laugh and cry through out the movie.... It's not often you get attached to the characters of a movie. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 02/01/23 Full Review Audience Member Good American movie about fine Polish lady who happened to be great French scientist. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/01/23 Full Review Read all reviews
