The Independent on Sunday - Jonathan Romney | Screenrush Barometer:  |
|
'It's a ravishing film, and more substantial and serious than its unashamedly lyrical beauty might lead you to think. It would belittle the film to call it exquisite; better to use the proper Romantic term and say that, in Bright Star, Campion really achieves the sublime.' |

|
'a fine and even ennobling film' |
|

|
'In a season of blockbusters and disaster flicks rolling towards us with grim jollity, Bright Star is that rare and upbraiding thing, a film - perhaps the last one of the year - that seeks not to jam your emotions or scare you silly, but asks you to think about words.' |
|
Total Film - Philip Kemp | Screenrush Barometer: |
|
'Quietly shedding all the fussy baggage of ?heritage drama', Campion gives us a moving account of Keats' great love and tragic death. A film of pictorial beauty and authenticity, graced with a fine cast.' |
