Little White Lies
Rating: 4/5 --
For all the chaos and pain, it is weirdly romantic: a glorious tale of wish-fulfilment, confirming that writers really can attain self-validation through the pen.

Guardian
The film was directed and co-written by Martin Provost, who's clearly drawn to women once called "difficult." He uses their exploits to explore big themes - be it the glory and danger of self-expression, or the sexual politics of culture.

4 stars out of 5 -- A beautiful true-life character study that does elegant justice to a largely unheralded writer.
Empire
Rating: 3/5 --
It's refreshing to see a film that centres on a daring female creative who is just as self-indulgent and self-pitying as any male artist.

Rating: A- --
She [Emmanuelle Devos] gives a tremendous performance, somehow managing to turn an emotion as ugly as self-loathing into something beautiful to behold.

Rating: 2/5 --
[Leduc] remains a small and rather irritating sideshow to the more powerful St Germain crowd, and the focus on her life is surprisingly dull.

Product Description:
Director Martin Provost takes the helm for this biographical drama centering on the enduring relationship between French feminist author Violette Leduc (Emmanuelle Devos) and famed intellectual Simone de Beauvoir (Sandrine Kiberlain). Following a chance meeting in post-WWII war Saint-Germain-des-Prés, the two authors establish a bond that will both enrich their careers, and last the rest of their lives.
