What critics are saying about The Lady

The Lady – review. This article is more than 14 years old.Although it is garbled, Madonna's film does at least articulate the reasons for her fascination with Wallis Simpson – and the same goes for Emmerich's unmasking of William Shakespeare. But The Lady says so little about its subject, it would struggle to pass muster as a TV biopic. The dialogue is flat, the performances creaky and, in the wake of George Clooney's much more sophisticated The Ides of March, its depiction of the political world borders on cartoonish.

Movie Review - 'The Lady' Luc Besson directs a biopic of Myanmar's Aung San Suu Kyi (Michelle Yeoh), the pro-democracy dissident held under house arrest for many years by the government. Critic Ella Taylor says the film's glowing appraisal of Suu Kyi too often overlooks her flaws. Review. Movies. 'The Lady': Self-Sacrifice, For Her Country's Sake.
