Another little movie focused on women's world: although women work hard, they work for life and to give birth to something...a baby or a family or a beautiful embroidery . Whatever will be, will be a masterpiece.

I'll just quote from my favourite movie blog: "Why is French cinema able to deliver films which other country's movie industry wouldn't even think about producing unless under torture?"

It's a slow moving film that feels as awful as Juno but this girl at the end does something more productive during her pregnancy. The movie is a fine work of art. The knitting is wonderful.

The main actress is GORGEOUS. Slow, sensuous, quiet. A very typical french filme. And that's why I love them!

Film of subtle, ephemeral pleasures. Tranquil, patient and noiseless.

A well done character study, this follows a young woman dealing with an unplanned pregnancy. Claire (Lola Naymark) hides her pregnancy from her friends and family as long as she can and even changes jobs to prevent discovery. The job change provides Claire with the sanctuary she needs to begin to come to grips with her situation and to sort out her options, even as she helps her new employer come to grips with her own tragedy. The young actress captivated this viewer. She is quite beautiful with the most luxurious head of red hair this viewer can remember seeing. But her ability to communicate her hidden emotions non-verbally was extraordinary. Ariane Ascaride played her employer, Madame Melikian, and brought a quiet dignity to the role of a mother dealing with the loss of a child. The supporting actors offered solid performances that fleshed out the story. Some lovely scenery and interesting camera work complete the package.

kinda slow moving but overall good

Una hermosa peli roja de protagonista todo en la fotografía encaja perfectamente haciéndola muy bonita por lo menos visualmente la historia no tiene mayores retos para el espectador y tal vez la forma en que sucede es el punto flojo

This was the perfect mom-daughter watching movie (for me). It is all about relationships between women AND it is French. There isn't much of a plot, but the movie works pretty well as a portrait. The main characters magnificent fiery red curly hair and freckled comtemplative face fills the screen, and so does the stunning canvases she is embroidering on. It is a beautiful movie - so I guess the cinematography is good.

Relato sobre la maternidad, Las Bordadoras (Brodeuses, 2004), dirigida por la realizadora Éléonore Faucher, es un trabajo filmado con sencillez y cuidado en su aspecto visual. El acto de bordar toma en la cinta una relevancia crucial (por más exhaustiva que pueda resultar la acción), al convertirse en el detonante de las confesiones entre una mujer madura y una chica embarazada. Su joven actriz, la bella pelirroja Lola Neymark, dota a la historia de una fuerza especial, muy femenina a pesar de sus -en aquel tiempo- 17 años. La también actriz de ?El Señor Ibrahim y las Flores del Corán? (2003) interpreta a Claire, una adolescente que vive en un pueblito de la provincia francesa y que sobrevive trabajando como cajera en un supermercado. Filmada con suma delicadeza al afrontar los paisajes campiranos (un buen trabajo del fotógrafo Pierre Cottereau), y a la hora de tomar a Claire y su maestra bordar y bordar, mostrando a detalle el verdadero arte con el que están confeccionadas las telas, Las Bordadoras es una película en la que prevalece un tono intimista entre sus personajes, sin que Faucher se deje llevar por el melodrama lacrimógeno en ningún momento.

Better movie than "Juno".

Une idee pour un chef-d'oeuvre qui enfant seulement d'un bon film, Ã cause d'imperfections eparses, dont le jeu de certains acteurs, une realisation parfois un peu grosse, etc. Ariane Ascaride, elle, est parfaite.

I like French films..this is nice

A nice quiet French drama about relationships.

beautiful and soft movie, touching story

These two women are so lucky! They KNOW exactly their calling, their true passion, the beautiful art they create, enjoy and share... The embroidery art. No todo el mundo tiene su suerte: saber exactamente qué pasión las conecta con esta vida y de allí sacar la fuerza que las realimentará para resolver sus situaciones y desafíos. Una vocación que es más bien una pasión.

très cool, à voir si vous l'avez manqué...

If you love rampant-curly redheads that dress like a boutique on fire, complete with head scarf, then this movie is worth the 88 minutes. If i had known the short shrift given to the titular embroidering i could have stopped looking for that and focused on the chicness and the hot hair and had a perfectly good time. Right up to the chopped off ending (the movie, not the hair). Good to look at, plot falters--but who can say no to redheads?

Den bedste film jeg har set i lang tid, og hovedpersonen er virkelig smuk. Man få helt lyst til selv at brodere :)

kaunis,kaunis sisältö, visuaalisesti ja kerronnallisesti.
