Watch Beloved Movie Online No Survey In the freewheeling Paris of the '60s, young Madeleine (Ludivine Sagnier) - who has gone from selling shoes to sleeping with men for money - falls for a handsome Czech doctor, Jaromil (Rasha Bukvic), who she soon marries and joins in Prague. A baby daughter is born, but Jaromil's infidelities and the arrival of Russian tanks in Prague leaded Madeleine back to France - though the love between them still burns. Thirty years later in London, we follow Madeleine's daughter, Vera (Chiara Mastroianni), who has fallen in love with a musician (Paul Schneider) who is incapable of devoting himself to her, while her ex (Honore regular Louis Garrel) still pines for her. Meanwhile, in Paris, a re-married Madeleine (Catherine Deneuve) has rekindled her love affair with Jaromil (Milos Forman). -- (C) IFC Release Date Beloved Aug 17, 2012 Limited | |

Review For Beloved |
Characters traipse around city streets singing 60s-style pop tunes in this ungainly, overconceived musical. J. R. Jones-Chicago Reader
Honoré's a genuinely gifted eccentric of a filmmaker, but on the evidence of "Beloved," he could use a nap. Ty Burr-Boston Globe
The plot of "Beloved," I'm afraid, may try your patience. Roger Ebert-Chicago Sun-Times
Somehow manages to feel sprawling and epic, while at the same time presenting an intimately observed view of two women's love lives. Michael O'Sullivan-Washington Post
Skips around the decades, taking a minimalist approach to history - mostly by demonstrating how recent traumatic events have inconvenienced the love lives of its central characters. John Hartl-Seattle Times
It's a film full of turbulence and passion, as a mother and daughter embark on their separate journeys - their pasts and futures, their happiness and sorrow, intertwined. Steven Rea-Philadelphia Inquirer
A bit heavy-handed when the tone of the piece isn't wavering uneasily between light and dark. Richard Knight-Knight at the Movies
The film as a whole is a lugubrious French-pop disaster. Tricia Olszewski-Washington City Paper
Mining the French New Wave for material and inspiration invites death by comparison. James Verniere-Boston Herald
Honoré's melodramatic excesses are tempered by the subtle performances of his leading ladies. Betsy Sherman-Boston Phoenix
To see Deneuve singing in a train station again cannot help but recall "The Umbrellas of Cherbourg" and Jacque Demy's film is honored as well in Alex Beaupain's songs with lyrics which propel the story encased in breezy pop tunes. Laura Clifford-Reeling Reviews
What starts out as a perky musical, slides downward into a morass of misplaced romantic desires over the course of four decades. Cole Smithey-ColeSmithey.com
Story, structure, and dialogue deflate whatever fizzy sexiness the actors try to inject. Kelly Vance-East Bay Express
The songs may not be particularly memorable; however, they serve their purpose in bolstering the emotional drive of the piece, and the film's effect would be neither as unique nor as lasting had they not been there. Michael Dequina-TheMovieReport.com
Well-acted and initially refreshing, but uneven, unfocused and too long. Avi Offer-NYC Movie Guru
This second-rate Jacques Demy homage crisscrosses multiple continents, nationalities, generations, decades and some key historic events in a helter-skelter romantic musical as odd as it is confusing and corny. Doris Toumarkine-Film Journal International
