| | Beautiful historical drama | 2020-04-07
A gorgeous to look at period romance, set during the religious wars in France during the sixteenth century. A pity the Blu Ray isn't as good as the HD transfer broadcast on French television which was simply stunning! How come this keeps happening? A television company gets a superb HD transfer of a film to broadcast, while the disc buying public has to put up with something not as good?
| | Schlechter Film | 2020-02-23
Schöne Kostüme, flache Handlung, einfach zäh mit wenig Inhalt. Langweilig hoch zehn.
| | Medieval drama | 2020-01-30
This is one of my favorite movies, I love medieval dramas even fictions lol. The end in the movie is a little unsettling for me but the drama history in the movie, wardrobe, medieval traditions and of course the Saint Bartolomé night... this movie one of my top 10.

Not as emotionally charged and dramatic as La Reine Margot but a beautiful period movie nevertheless.

It Does not work!
| | Dull | 2015-01-05
Got too bored to see it thruogh to the end, most of the acting is lacking, the main actress looks much different to the airbrushed photo on the cover.
| | Good Film | 2014-12-19
A very good film which I thoroughly enjoyed. The story had a rather sad ending for the princess in that she was unable to convince her lover to marry her having previously rejected her husband. Bad decisions based on the heart invariably end in tears!.
| | Simply beautiful. Great acting | 2014-11-27
Simply beautiful. Great acting. Beautiful costumes and scenery. Lots of romance and suspense.

Very entertaining. I enjoyed it very much.
| | Spannender Film | 2014-10-16
Es ist ein optisch ganz toller Film. Die Zeit um 1570 wird richtig lebendig. Burgen, Schlösser, Liebe, Kampf, alles dabei.
| | Arten der Liebe | 2014-10-13
Tavernier hat ein historisches Drama aus der Zeit der Hugenottenkriege geschaffen. Hier thematisiert er die damals übliche Heiratspolitik. Die Zwangsehe, die sich nur an materiellen Werten orientierte, soll ja auch heute noch vorkommen. Im Mittelpunkt steht Marie (Mélanie Thierry). Sie wird mit Philippe (Grégoire Leprince-Ringuet) verheiratet, den sie nicht liebt. Ihr Herz gehört seinem Cousin Henry (Gaspard Ulliel), den Amors Pfeil mit einem Schuss Eros getroffen hat. Philippes Freund Francois

So weit so gut, der Film ist nicht schlecht, aber man erwartet sich etwas mehr, da auch das Ende nicht unbedingt berauscht.

| | Magnifique Mélanie! | 2014-05-29
Excellent classic French dialogues, romantic moments, great fencing. An interesting view in the 17th Century. Beautiful country side and castles shots. Sensuous actress.
| | Maybe 3-1/2 | 2014-05-12
I liked this movie, but it could've used a little more passion in the acting or the script for the characters. It was definitely worth the watch, though. The prince was my main disappointment, not necessarily the acting, but the character -- as a man -- kept me wanting more. I guess you don't expect a prince to be so withdrawn with such little emotion and lack of personality. I would expect him to fight for what he truly desires, especially when he has suspicions and fear of the
| | Review of Princess of Montpensier | 2014-05-04
For a period piece this one was OK, No great story line and the acting was just ordinary. Nothing to make the movie stand out from a 100 others just like.
| | Great Movie | 2014-04-28
I watched this while taking a French class. It was an interesting movie. The sets and scenery were beautiful, and one gets some insight into another time and place. I recommend the movie for those who enjoy both history and romance movie from a different culture.
| | Princess of Montpensier | 2014-04-19
This film, though it has subtitles, is understandable and is a good story. I wish the end would have told us more about what happened to the Princess.
| | ok | 2014-04-02
I watched this a week ago. I wasn't bored but it must not have been terrific because I cannot remember what the movie was about!
| | Interesting look at the price of beauty | 2014-03-30
The main character is (as many women were in the 1600's) a marriage pawn for her family, but her staggering beauty made it so much more complicated. The man she had to marry fell for her, her childhood friend (his cousin) fell for her. Even the heir to the throne let her know he was interested. The casting was perfect. The Princess came off as naive and completely unsure what to do with all the controversy she unwittingly caused in the French court. A beautiful film that I would have
| | Poor Man's Reine Margot | 2014-03-25
Based on the novel, and involving many of the same characters from Reine Margot, this nonetheless felt like an immensely inferior version. The main character is not developed at all, and it is hard to believe that virtually every man in sight falls in love with her (I presume she must be the Director's type, as she is left to do a lot of just standing there and looking pouty). The violence is graphic - and this was indeed a violent period of French history, but I am sure would offend many.
| | This movie is heads above the rest. | 2014-03-22
This historic film was very interesting and dealt with warring religious factions in Feance. I enjoyed the scenery and coarumes
| | You will love it! | 2014-03-12
It's just a beautiful movie. The actors will suck you in. Like a great book, does. A must see!!! Enjoy :)
| | didn't watch it | 2014-02-11
I started to watch it but right off the start it was not a movies that was holding my interest.
| | didn't give it a chance | 2014-02-04
It might have been all right, but I have to be REALLY in the mood to read subtitles. And don't you hate when you can't read them fast enough and you don't know what's going on? ...And I'm a good reader. You can't see their faces because you're too busy reading as fast as you can!!! (I just made that general statement because I watched something else with fast subtitles last night. I don't think these were too fast... but then I didn't watch it.)
| | LOVE IS SOMETIMES SAD | 2014-02-01
We can't always choose who we fall in love with, but what will we do about it? Watch and decide!
| | interesting yet sad | 2014-01-30
It was a very interesting movie and I enjoyed watching it, although I hated the ending because no one was satisfied. The princess was a very foolish girl but no one deserves to end up unhappy.
| | Slow & uninteresting | 2014-01-29
Could not even continue watching this. Slow moving, violent, and oppressive to womankind. Characters were schmaltzy and meek to say the least.
| | Not for me | 2014-01-28
I only gave the movie two stars simply because I do not like to spend time reading captions on the bottom as it is in a foreign language. You in turn miss a lot of the expressions etc. trying to read. I always feel there is something lost. Quite frankly, I didn't even watch it to the end. Someone else out there may not mind that fact.
| | Great costumes and action | 2014-01-23
The ending was a bit abrupt, but I enjoyed the movie's costumes and scenery...there are magnificent horses in this movie.
| | Not that great | 2014-01-19
This is a subtitled film. It was difficult to follow the plot line. We did not finish watching the film.
| | Ein Super-Abenteuer-Knaller! | 2014-01-18
Der Film lässt nichts zu wünschen übrigen und besitzt alles, was ein guter Abenteuer-Film haben sollte ... Action ... Witz ... Romantik. Die Familie hat sich mit einer Schale Popcorn einen tollen Fernsehabend gemacht - ideal für neblig ödes Winterwetter!
| | princess of montpensier | 2014-01-17
a waste of time. I just could not get into this movie; in fact I fell asleep while watching. Yep.
| | Eine gelungene Zeitreise | 2014-01-17
Ich liebe Erzählungen aus den alten Zeiten. Auch dieser Film hat mich berührt. Vielleicht nicht so sehr wie Stolz und Vorurteil,aber ich möchte schon sagen das er sehenswert ist!
| | Spoiler Review: Another Story About Stupid, Selfish, or Insanely Jealous People | 2014-01-16
These stories drive me nuts. I watched this the whole way through, even though I knew what was coming. Girl falls for hot boy, has to marry a different hot boy (did I mention that the guys in this movie were lovely to look at?), resigns herself to the new hot husband, makes two other good-looking men fall for her (just by being pretty, really, which incenses her husband - which begs the question of what did he think, like, they were going to be repulsed by a good-looking woman??) and then she
| | just the different language | 2014-01-10
I didn't like that it was in a different language!!I am american so it was kinda weird! thank you
| | wisdom of doubting | 2014-01-05
Compared with the Hollywood blind faith in the cosmic battle between good and evil, only the French can tell a story of doubting and achieve an artistic and philosophical conclusion at the same time. Pay attention to the dialogue between the teacher and princess on love and faith, you'd foresee the ending of pursuit of blind love and faith.
| | slow and boring | 2014-01-03
This is one of the worst movies I have ever seen: poor acting, ponderous pace, weak plot. Don't waste your time!

| | In French with sublitles | 2013-10-07
Beautiful film, superb acting, beautiful settings. As true to many French films, this one does not have the expected happy ending.
| | A mesmerizing romantic tragedy. | 2013-09-18
Bertrand Tavernier's "The Princess of Montpensier" is a dazzling romantic tragedy, intelligently written, directed, and acted. Set in France at the time of the St. Bartholomew's Day Massacre, it tells the story of Marie de Montpensier (Melanie Thierry), the wife of Philippe (Gregoire Leprince-Ringuet). Her family married her off to Philippe to create a beneficial family alliance, despite Marie's burning passion for Henri, Duc de Guise (Gaspard Ulliel). The expected tragedy
| | Another fascinating woman from Madame de la Fayette | 2013-08-25
Admittedly, this is not for everyone. I happen to be a fan of historical fiction, and of French history, so this is my cup of tea.That said, this is a well-crafted movie based on a short novel by the author of Princess of Cleves, which as far as I know is still required reading for any well-educated French person.This story is set a few years after the events of Princess of Cleves, and centers on another princess, originally promised to one man (Henri, Duc of Guise) but married off by her
| | The Princess of Montpensier | 2013-07-27
Based on a short story by Madame de La Fayette, the Princess of Montpensier is a non-stop bodice ripper with a twist, The historical back is the Catholic/Protestant religious wars featuring an ensemble cast who perform so well. The handsome and quietly charismatic Lambert Wilson, plays Comte Francois de Chabannes, with honor and valor. A must-see film for students of Bernard Tavenier and French film.Natalie

Personal bias: don't care for shows that start in one place and grow progressively darker. I view it as a lazy way to cover up an inability to sustain a story without gratuitous violence or cruelty.

What is Trustami

Trustami regularly scans the internet for new reviews and collect them in one place, in order to make them available to interested parties at a glance.

We want to make it as easy as possible for every internet user to look up products. Instead of relying on just one source, we provide a single point of contact to get easily all the reviews on a product.

Trustami does not generate new reviews and stays independent in order to make the internet more transparent. We automatically search on popular internet platforms and websites to find reviews and identify products. Our claim here is to provide a helpful set of product information that anyone can rely on. The aggregation of product data is done as good as possible and may include multiple versions of one product.

Trustami was created as a project of the Technical University of Berlin (TUB) with the aim of making the internet more trustworthy. Research in the field of "Social Media Analytics & Big Data" at the Chair of Information and Communication Management (IKM) provided a first prototype that enabled the collection of reputation data. With further development and funding Trustami became an independent spin-off.
