Critic Reviews of "Mona Lisa Smile"
Chicago ReaderJanuary 10, 2004Roberts asks her students rhetorical questions: What makes art good or bad? Who decides? But the movie answers them as canonically as the syllabus Roberts abandons.
Rolling StoneDecember 23, 2003Women of the Fifties, rise up in protest.
Salon.comDecember 20, 2003In terms of the gap between the movie it's trying to be and the movie it actually is, Mona Lisa Smile is in many ways indefensible. Yet for all its problems, it's satisfyingly movielike.
Washington PostDecember 19, 2003Anyone who's ever been moved by a teacher to dream a slightly bigger dream than his parents thought he or she was capable of achieving ought to love the film, for it gets at a truer model of teacher's inspiration.
Washington PostDecember 19, 2003Like the turtleneck cashmere sweaters and girdles that tie down these promising women, the movie is trite and trussed.
USA TodayDecember 19, 2003Rather than being a fascinating exploration of a much more constrained time in our social history, the film simply feels anachronistic.
Common Sense MediaDecember 26, 2010Glossy entertainment value but far from art.
ColeSmithey.comMay 12, 2009Kirsten Dunst, Julia Stiles and Maggie Gyllenhaal furnish well-observed performances that frequently outshine Julia Roberts's reflex characterization in this female variant of "Dead Poets Society."
Kansas City KansanOctober 30, 2004Period dress, set design, manners and acting are fine--as is Mike Newell's direction. If only the script was less predictable.
Tyler Morning Telegraph (Texas)September 20, 2004...would have been better served by characters with a little less formula than the paint-by-numbers projects so loved by these women of Wellesley College.
FilmFocusJuly 20, 2004Mike Newell directs a formulaic Roberts vehicle that isn't without its charm.
Low IQ CanadianMay 14, 2004Mike Newell takes the road most travelled in tackling the sexual apartheid and hysteria of the 1950s.
