Professor Marston & the Wonder Women Reviews

Robinson explores their love with great sensitivity and eroticism and without sensationalism and also celebrates the power of creativity and intellectual curiosity.

| Dec 14, 2022

The breezy first half gives way to a more cumbersome second part, but the film never loses altitude in either its open-minded approach or in its pointed criticism of conservative prudery and anti-intellectualism.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Sep 18, 2021

This decidedly odd and kinky tale is evidently a passion project for writer-director Angela Robinson (maker of cheeky teen spy spoof D.E.B.S.), and she brings a sly wit and touching sweetness to her telling of it.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Dec 20, 2020

This fun period piece tells the story of psychologist William Moulton Marston and the polyamorous relationship he has...yup, if you didn't know before now...

| Nov 16, 2020

This film is a thing of beauty that surely deserves every eye that falls upon it.

| Original Score: 5/5 | Oct 1, 2020

This film must be praised for its mostly positive depiction of a polyamorous relationship and for exploring unknown aspects of Wonder Woman. The costumes, hair and make up and the acting are exemplary. It makes a great companion piece to the Jenkins film.

| Original Score: 8/10 | Jul 12, 2020

The film has a perfectly intimate feeling to it, and the performances allow us to find the humanity in its layered individuals.

Professor Marston and the Wonder Women isn't going to slay awards season, nor is it going to reinvent the dramatic wheel, but what it will do is bring a not oft-represented type of love to the big screen with three incredible performances as its anchor.

| Mar 24, 2020

Angela Robinson's film tells us about an interesting aspect of pop culture and gives us a timely celebration of feminine power. Considering what's happened so far in 2017, that's wonderful.

| Feb 20, 2020

Ultimately, I found Professor Marston and the Wonder Women disappointing, too melodramatic to be a good comedy, and too rushed to be a good period romance.

| Feb 7, 2020

Professor Marston is an effective feminist film that benefits from strong turns by Evans, Hall and Heathcote. That said, it tends to state the obvious, as everybody feels the need to verbalize their feelings at all times.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Jan 27, 2020

Overall, Professor Marston and the Wonder Women is a wonderful film about a feminist icon but, at its heart, is ultimately a love story about an unconventional relationship.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Nov 12, 2019

Refreshingly, this isn't one of those love triangles where women compete for one man, with the movie taking pains to establish intellectual and emotional respect between the three as well as sexual desire.

| Nov 1, 2019

Fun and fascinating.

| Original Score: 5/5 | Oct 18, 2019

What's perhaps most refreshing... is the clear-eyed, non-judgmental presentation of three adult people exploring their sexuality without the unnecessary accompaniment of shame and moral grandstanding.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Oct 10, 2019

This has to be the most provocative and sensual origin story of a superhero you've ever seen. It's smart, sometimes kinky and funny about the first female superhero!

| Sep 24, 2019

The arc of Marston's career is so fascinating that it seems a waste to boil the details down into such an ordinary biopic, merely ticking off his achievements

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

The problem with pulling your punches.

| Jul 20, 2019

The central conflict is unique. The acting is great. Characters feel real. Will ignite discussion amongst whoever you go see this with!

| Original Score: A- | May 8, 2019

The result is still a powerful film, but its lens could have been fixed even more firmly on the title figures, who pursued happiness on their own terms.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Mar 21, 2019
