Synopsis

"Some nibble on life's bounty; the French writer Colette gorged" - Manohla Dargis, New York Times. Our film is Wash Westmoreland's take on Colette's early life; she meets Willy, author of many (often-ghost) novels, marries him and becomes his most successful ghost-writer, before branching out on her own. Meantime, as Dargis continues, she is "loosening the bonds of their conjugal life one affair at a time"...

Critics

open_quote The chemistry is palpable between [Keira] Knightley and [Dominic] West, whether they are in love or estranged, and Knightley gives one of her best performances as a girl with spirit and talent who becomes a woman with ferocity and a voice close_quote Nell Minow, Rogerebert.com
