Critic Reviews

Bernard Besserglik

Witty, enjoyable costume drama imagines formative episode in life of French comedy giant. Read full review

Ann Hornaday

An extravagant and thoroughly irresistible story of intrigue, romance, comedy and artistic inspiration. Read full review

Elizabeth Weitzman

The actors elevate what might have been fluff into a genuinely moving tale, and the action is so much fun that it doesn't even matter if you've seen Molière's plays before. Read full review

Wesley Morris

Showing up for Molière eager for the story of one of the theater's greatest comedy writers would be unwise. It's not that kind of party. Read full review

TV Guide Magazine Ken Fox

While none of this is meant to be taken seriously, the premise demeans Moliere's great achievement. Read full review

Kyle Smith

The Great Playwrights for Dummies series that began with "Shakespeare in Love" continues with Molière, a French clone of that grating and smarmy Best Picture winner. Read full review

Mick LaSalle

A whimsical but flat-footed attempt to account for several lost months in the life of Jean-Baptiste Poquelin, known to the world as Molière. Read full review

I thoroughly enjoyed this costume melodrama. I find it interesting that critics rate it a 59 when users who have seen the film rate in in the 9 range.

Molière est un dramaturge et acteur qui veut succèder au théâtre. Il est pris dans les affaires de Monsieur Jourdain. Il aide M. Jourdain avec son aventure amoureuse.

Il est pris dans les affaires de Monsieur Jourdain. Il aide M. Jourdain avec son aventure amoureuse. Pendant cette aventure, il tombe amoureux avec Mme. Jourdain. Nous observons alors la transformation de Molière d’un mauvais acteur en un dramaturge magnifique. Le film est très mal conçu parce qu’il dénature le personnage de Molière. La distribution du film est très mauvaise et n’est pas charmante. Le film ne fournit pas de bonnes informations sur les pièces de Molière. Le film change beaucoup l'histoire de Molière et crée une image fausse du 17ème siècle. Le film ne donne pas hommage à l’histoire du 17ème siècle et la vie de Molière. La romance dans le film est distrayant du thème et de la valeur historique. C’est film n’a pas les components pour un film historique. Il a un image fausse de l’histoire de Molière. Ne regarde pas le film Molière si vous aimez l'histoire parce qu’il en donne une image fausse.… Expand
