Cheri
Movie Title: Cheri
Description: Stephen Frears, director of THE QUEEN and HIGH FIDELITY, continues to demonstrate his genre-defying talent with this adaptation of a Colette novel. Set in Paris in the years before World War I, CHERI paints a picture of the romance between young Chri (Rupert Friend) and retired courtesan La (Michelle Pfeiffer). Chris mother (Kathy Bates), a rival of La, plots to separate the pair by arranging a marriage between her son and Edme (Felicity Jones). Screenwriter Christopher Hampton previously collaborated with the director on DANGEROUS LIAISONS.

| Boston Globe, Ty Burr "What makes Cheri’ worth your while is that its true subjects are women and age, and its observations apply to both 19th-century France and the modern film industry." | B |
| Chicago Sun-Times, Roger Ebert "The most emotional moments at the end occur off-screen..." | A- |
| Chicago Tribune, Geoff Berkshire "An older woman/younger man romance less compelling than Demi and Ashton's Twitter feeds." | C |
| New York Post, Lou Lumenick "...slight but highly decorative..." | B- |
