A masterful 168-minute piece of storytelling that never ceases to be gripping in spite of its measured pace.
By Jonathan Rosenbaum FULL REVIEW

This Lady Chatterley, winner of five César awards in France, feels bracingly fresh, vital and modern.
By A.O. Scott FULL REVIEW

Intelligent and tasteful, even while being sexually frank.
By V.A. Musetto FULL REVIEW

In this film the lovers are seeking the impossible through the possible. The knowledge of that impossibility makes the scenes all the more powerful. This is the core of Lawrence's novel, and Ferran has understood it.
By Stanley Kauffmann FULL REVIEW

Being a fairly faithful adaptation, this version also has a lot of that other stuff about the hypocrisy of civilized life, the truthfulness of natural splendor and so forth.
By Marc Mohan FULL REVIEW

If a film can be both lush and cold, both erotic and cautious, that film is Lady Chatterley. It's a picture to honor and appreciate, not necessarily to love.
By Andrew O'Hehir FULL REVIEW

This might be pleasant to watch, in a floaty '70s-movie kind of way, if not for the film's groaning 168-minute length and abrupt thudder of an ending.
