Film Threat by Parker Whitmore
The Rose Maker is at its best during its quiet moments when characters are allowed to simply exist and grow.

Los Angeles Times by Gary Goldstein
The Rose Maker is a slender but engaging tale about competition, cooperation and creativity.

The New York Times by Teo Bugbee
It’s a relaxed film, one that allows the audience to sit back and, if not smell the roses, then at least appreciate them.
63
Washington Post by Ann Hornaday
Top it off with Pinaud’s final dedication, and The Rose Maker turns into a film that wears its emotions lightly but generously, like dew on a blush-colored petal.

Variety by Guy Lodge
Pierre Pinaud’s short but unhurried film benefits immensely from the warmly flinty presence of Catherine Frot (“Marguerite”) in the lead, lending a sense of purpose and personality to a character without much color on the page.
