Reviews

Madame and Her Niece has received mixed reviews from critics. While some appreciated the elegant performances by Ruth-Maria Kubitschek and Kareen Gardemann, others found the storyline lacking depth and originality. Metacritic described the film as 'a visually stunning piece with a compelling lead performance, but ultimately fails to deliver a coherent narrative.' On IMDb, the audience rating of 4.9/10 reflects the polarizing nature of the film. Rotten Tomatoes' consensus reads, 'Madame and Her Niece succeeds in capturing the essence of familial bonds, yet falls short in offering a fresh perspective.
