Besson hits familiar biopic beats, but the formula could have used something a little more daring to liven things up.

Biopic of Ang San Suu Kyi a notch above the rest
April 20, 2012
A heavy-handed attempt to sanctify one of the most dignified and uncompromising politicians and human rights champions of recent times.

The dramatic moments are few and far between, and the film seems like it walks in the footsteps of Richard Attenborough's Gandhi at times. Besson definitely tries to present Suu Kyi in a similarly reverent light.

[It] does indeed deal with a real life, but follows so faithfully the traditional shape of film biography that it feels less convincing.

"The Lady" is a two-hour trip into earnestness, from which audiences will want a little liberation of their own.

Great person, but not a great movie
April 26, 2012
The Lady is little more than a history lesson - although a beautifully presented one - wrapped in the pink gloss of a G-rated potboiler evidenced in Suu Kyi's and Michael's storybook romance.

This hagiography of Myanmar's Nobel Peace Prize-winner, Aung San Suu Kyi, is earnest, civilized and borderline unendurable.

The Lady is a slog, a two-and-a-half hour, painted-on-wood exercise in political iconography.
