Screenwriter Rebecca Frayn's full feature debut is alluring, fascinating to watch and, most importantly, makes you care about Suu Kyi.

The Lady is a slog, a two-and-a-half hour, painted-on-wood exercise in political iconography.

"The Lady" is a two-hour trip into earnestness, from which audiences will want a little liberation of their own.

His story telling clings hard to sentimentality rather than historical facts, but thanks to an Oscar worthy performance by Yeoh and a stark realism...The Lady makes for a powerful, if not weighty, biopic.
