Lisa Schwarzbaum, Entertainment Weekly: GOOD (NOT GREAT) (cg) "...heavy on concept and light on insight into the elusive 65-year-old actor. Conversations with selected high-art friends (i.e., novelist Paul Auster) yield low-risk revelations like this: Older women can be beautiful and sexy." (Read the full review...) 70 words, 11/11/11
Stephen Holden, New York Times: WEAK "A tease... an examination of the surface. Ms. Rampling is presented as an endlessly watchable mystery, an aloof but affable sphinx. But we knew that already." (Read the full review...) 724 words, 11/04/11 Joe Neumaier, New York Daily News: GOOD (NOT GREAT) (cg) "...well-made, elegant doc follows the British actress as she travels and discusses life, art, fashion, sex and death with various friends and collaborators... the conversation is smart and lively." (Read the full review...) 94 words, 11/04/11 Gary Goldstein, Los Angeles Times: VERY GOOD "As haunting and captivating as its famed subject... proves a unique documentary portrait of one of cinema's most quietly enduring talents." (Read the full review...) 209 words, 12/16/11 V.A. Musetto, New York Post: VERY GOOD (cg) "There are clips from 'The Verdict,' 'The Damned,' 'Swimming Pool' and that little-seen oddity 'Max Mon Amour,' in which Rampling's character takes a monkey as a lover. How can you not admire an actress who'd share top billing with a simian?" (Read the full review...) 200 words, 11/04/11 Michael Atkinson, Village Voice/LA Weekly: GOOD (NOT GREAT) "Women of a certain age will kvell, but the point might be better made for the rest of us by rewatching the autumnal Rampling in Ozon's 'Under the Sand.' " (Read the full review...) 217 words, 11/02/11
Stephanie Merry, Washington Post: GOOD (NOT GREAT) (cg) "...succeeds in shedding light on the mysterious woman, and it turns out her beauty isn't just skin-deep but also fairly uninteresting. But what's behind the heavily lidded eyes? That's another story - which the movie thankfully gets to. Eventually." (Read the full review...) 485 words, 03/02/12 Ty Burr, Boston Globe: VERY GOOD (cg) "Director Angelina Maccarone is a newcomer, and the actress had final cut; it's safe to say that Rampling is as much collaborator as subject." (Read the full review...) 561 words, 02/03/12 Moira Macdonald, Seattle Times: VERY GOOD (cg) "She gazes, unsmiling, at the camera from beneath her mysteriously hooded eyes, and time stands still, fiercely; for that moment, nothing else matters. You wonder how the lens survives." (Read the full review...) 352 words, 12/09/11

" (Read the full review...) 217 words, 11/02/11 Betsy Sherman, Boston Phoenix: VERY GOOD (cg) "Rampling's physical gifts, unimpeded by plastic surgery in their march through time, are matched by a keen mind and an unapologetic approach to life and work." (Read the full review...) 156 words, 02/02/12 Noel Murray, AV Club: GOOD (cg) "The best segments have less to do with the actress' musings on life and death and more to do with her exploration of artifice." (Read the full review...) 387 words, 11/03/11 Diego Costa, Slant: VERY GOOD (cg) "...seduces us simultaneously with Rampling's irresistible projected image (the cheekbones, the poise, the treacherous greyness of the eyes) and her ordinarily human incompleteness." (Read the full review...) 645 words, 11/02/11

Boyd Van Hoeij, Daily Variety: MODERATE "Maccarone tries to paint a picture of the artist's personality rather than make a straightforward and chronological biography, but a little more contextual information might have made the pic a whole lot more accessible." (Read the full review...) 538 words, 05/19/11 Jordan Mintzer, Hollywood Reporter: GOOD "...much more of a cerebral rumination on the métier than any sort of trivia quiz, and it's carried almost entirely by Rampling's wit, intelligence and incredible screen presence."
