A curiously downbeat, rather cold work without much passion or science that portrays a woman whose life was brimming with both.

The personal and professional life of a genius physicist and chemist, Marie Curie, unfolds over five turbulent years – from 1905, when Curie is awarded Nobel Prize for the discovery of radioactivity, to 1911, when she receives her second Nobel Prize, after challenging France's male-dominated academic establishment.

What are critics saying?
Washington Post by Alan Zilberman
Marie Noelle fills the story with passion, debate and human contradiction. If the material ultimately eludes the director’s grasp, wandering off on unfocused tangents, it’s because of its ambition.
A fascinating life is reduced to a series of skittishly edited and visually stylised vignettes that do scant justice to Marie Curie's scientific achievements and Karolina Gruszka's laudably intense performance.
Marie Noelle’s evidently impassioned portrait of the trailblazing Polish-French physicist and chemist emerges as an odd blend of, well, formulae, following a starchy biopic pattern one minute and giving in to impressionistic abstraction the next.
The New York Times by Ken Jaworowski
There’s a lot of labor and conflict shown here, and rarely have they looked so good.
Los Angeles Times by Kimber Myers
As biopics go, Marie Curie is a beautifully rendered sketch, rather than a fully detailed painting.
