the picture is potent and engaging; even its fictionalized elements ring with the spirit of truth. And Kristen Stewart is off the charts, though that's hardly a surprise
Seberg's story is hugely dramatic, infuriating and timely, but we only get superficial insights into its subject, her cinematic accomplishments, the experiences that shaped her politics and the movements she aligned with
Kristen Stewart is terrific as Seberg; Unfortunately, the film built around [Stewart's] performance is a dud, heavy-handed in its script and awkwardly sententious about the cause of Black Power
Benedict Andrews's fascinating, ultimately disappointing and oddly shaped (film); Starring the ever-splendid Kristen Stewart, a gifted actor who captures Seberg's look and grace, the film is a watchable failure
Benedict Andrews' sleek, pleasurably glossy thriller; the luminous Kristen Stewart keeps you glued throughout, giving a coolly compelling performance that becomes steadily more poignant as the subject unravels
