Played with aetherial grace and innate wisdom by Dakota FanningApril 03, 2015
"Effie Gray" runs 108 minutes, yet it feels like it ends right before the real drama is about to begin.April 03, 2015
With a script by Emma Thompson, you might expect Effie Gray to have the same period-piece poignancy as her 1995 take on Sense and Sensibility. No such luck.April 25, 2015
Appearances are everything in Effie Gray, a film that pushes tasteful restraint to extremes.April 05, 2015
Fanning's controlled presence is ideal for a tale of Victorian repression. But as the film becomes one of quiet liberation, it needs more than her cool reserve.April 10, 2015
Slow-moving period film makes intriguing tale uninteresting.January 01, 2016
Effie Gray is powerful enough on its own merits.April 03, 2015
Picturesque scenery, exquisite set/costume designs and solid performances fail to enliven the film which lacks subtlety, often drags and ultimately fails to pack enough of an emotional wallop.April 03, 2015
Wise, who is noticeably older than the 29-year-old Ruskin was at the time the events occurred in real life, gives a tense, implacable performance, and Fanning is touching. The movie, however, directed by Richard Laxton, could use a lot more oomph.May 30, 2015
Thoughtful but inert.
