Critics Consensus

Appropriately enough, Renoir offers viewers a drama of sumptuous beauty -- which is more than enough to offset its frustratingly slow pace and rather thinly written screenplay.

3/5

You would need a soul of potash not to savour the delicious fauna and flattering southern light. But the film never gets far beyond the decorative.

The story falters when it runs through its very traditional, even hackneyed arcs ...

This gives a new meaning to Truffaut's phrase le cinma du papa.

Unlike the work of the men who bear the surname - one a painter at the end of his life, the other a great filmmaker in the making - Renoir the film appears to have almost no imperative for existing.

Renoir is a sensitive and serene sanctuary of beauty.

Languorous, lush, and often mesmeric, Renoir is a visually stimulating enterprise.

Un film qui tient difficilement l'attention du spectateur malgre ses moments de beaute visuelle.

If it's shot in the south of France it's worth a look, like Cotillard & Crowe in "A Good Year" - because things are atmospheric & inviting for a couple of hours with a good cup of Arabica java or a Dubonnet. No exception here in what purports to be a near end-of-life docudrama on the beloved painter. Beautifully realized in French (subtitled), it's interesting. But like cognac & chocolates it's best savored at one's leisure, breeze through the leaves. Everyone is nicely cast, especially Christa, a tempestuous beauty revealed a few times in birthday glory. So, the film's right for some - with a Desplat soundtrack (good) - but definitely not for the Marvel crowd even tho' some of those are enjoyed by this correspondent, too. (Note: The french is spoken so fast that the subtitles also move quickly. So, to let the eye linger on the beautiful scenes, it's necessary to back-up 10 or 20-secs rather frequently.)
