Reviews
- "Inspiring, rousing, and romantic, this biopic about a visionary young widow who built a champagne empire is a historical drama for wine lovers that’s best watched with a glass of bubbly in hand."
- Screen Zealots - "Bennett is superb here, and her unique look for the role makes it appear like she just stepped out of a vintage painting of the time."
- Deadline Hollywood - "WIDOW CLICQUOT is a hidden secret of TIFF 2023, a well-done take on a biopic, and proof, yet again, that Bennett is an utter powerhouse."
