Berthe Morisot

About This Movie

Berthe Morisot is a quiet yet poignant exploration of ambition and familial ties. The film captures the essence of 19th-century France, where Berthe, played with gentle resolve, seeks to carve her identity in a male-dominated art world. Caroline Champetier’s direction brings a rich, painterly quality to the visuals, reminiscent of the era’s Impressionist masterpieces. The slower pacing allows you to savor the delicate interactions between characters, particularly the dynamic with Edouard Manet, whose interest in her work adds layers to her story. There's a certain intimacy in the sisterly bond that feels authentic, grounding this historical narrative. Overall, it’s an intriguing look at a lesser-known artist who shaped her own path against societal expectations.
