It's a beautiful period biopic, but with a thoroughly modern theme. Biopics run the risk of being boring, and Colette is an exception. This is largely due to the heroine, Keira Christina Knightley, who has a seductively modern air about her, both in her demeanor and in her boldness and independence when interacting with men on screen. She brings a nuanced and masterful interpretation of the role of Colette. The scenes of physical intimacy are very intriguing, with few shots but a lot of impact. Keira Christina Knightley's performance is remarkable

Colette: Animals are honest at least. They never lie.
Willy: Yes, my dear. Well, that's because they don't speak.
