The Widow Clicquot

Set in France during the Napoleonic Wars, the film centers on Barbe-Nicole Clicquot (Haley Bennett), the unlikely savior of the champagne company she inherits when her young husband suddenly passes away. A richly lensed film, it’s ultimately a glistening portrait of ingenuity and unwavering resolve. (dir. Thomas Napper, France, 2023, 90 min.)

“Bennett is wonderful as always. Her ability to show strength through vulnerability is unparalleled.” —The Film Stage
