Girl with a Pearl Earring Reviews |
Watching "Girl With a Pearl Earring" is like stepping inside a Vermeer painting. The light, color and composition are eerily perfect. It's as if director Peter Webber, cinematographer Eduardo Serra and production designer Ben van Os unearthed some of theDutch master's missing work, plus scenes of 17th-century Delft he would have painted if he had the time.

--Jami Bernard (New York Daily News)
At least Earring is a well-made film. Its cinematography, score, and the acting of supporting players are all top-notch. Earring will likely try to become The Hours of 2003 – making a play as an intense tale of love gone wrong amidst a period backdrop. [read review] 
--Christopher Null (FilmCritic.com)
With superb performances marking a contrived story about a 17th-century Dutch artist and his muse, this film is not just for art lovers, it's for anyone who appreciates gorgeous filmmaking. [read review]
--Stacie Hougland (Hollywood.com)
Girl with a Pearl Earring is one of those films that does many things right, and that places it among the year's best period pieces. It's a cut above the usual BBC costume drama. [read review]
--James Berardinelli (ReelViews)
Beautifully photographed and featuring a superb performance by Scarlett Johansson, this is a rewarding drama that is shot through with a palpable erotic intensity. [read review] 
--Matthew Turner (ViewLondon)
A moving portrait painted onscreen. Each frame is an artistic representation of Dutch realism wrapped around a simple story and brought to life by an amazing cast. [read review]
--Derek May (MovieWeb)
Vermeer's famous painting comes semi-alive in this stultifyingly tasteful adaptation of a ludicrous book. Go to the museum instead. [read review]
--Charles Taylor (Salon)
'Girl With a Pearl Earring" is a quiet movie, shaken from time to time by ripples of emotional turbulence far beneath the surface. [read review] 
--Roger Ebert (Chicago Sun-Times)
The look of the film and its heartbreakingly appealing performance by Scarlett Johansson make it worth seeing. [read review] 74/100
--Brian Webster (Apollo Guide)
Sexual tension meets timeless art 'Girl With a Pearl Earring' explores Vermeer's family dynamics [read review]
--Ruthe Stein (San Francisco Chronicle)
A much better title would have been 'Much Ado About Painting'. [read review] 5/10
