Critics' reviews

"A timely yet rousingly conventional look at the legendary feminist leader (...) the traditional approach taken by Taymor works fine "

Owen Gleiberman: Variety
"A creative, rich biopic that doesn't give a hoot about convention (...) Vikander’s performance is arguably the meatiest"

Kate Erbland: IndieWire
"Threaded throughout with stylistic extravagances that can feel intrusive, the film is most exciting when its dramatic scenes are intercut with archival footage"

David Rooney: The Hollywood Reporter
"[It] is ultimately a triumphant and insightful story about how a young girl became a feminist."

Adam Chitwood: Collider
"As it stands, the film gets the job done. Gloria Steinem deserves to be discussed and admired."

Dan Mecca: The Film Stage
