The Lady
We are living in this story with many powerful and different events. The story of a young woman named Aung San Suki, the daughter of the Burmese general, is telling the story about her democratic movement in Burma. That story began when her father died in that war, then returned to her homeland to carry out a democratic movement in Burma, as well as talking about her relationship with her husband, writer Michael Ares, which seems to be a controversial relationship.

The dramatic moments are few and far between, and the film seems like it walks in the footsteps of Richard Attenborough's Gandhi at times. Besson definitely tries to present Suu Kyi in a similarly reverent light.

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

This hagiography of Myanmar's Nobel Peace Prize-winner, Aung San Suu Kyi, is earnest, civilized and borderline unendurable.

A heavy-handed attempt to sanctify one of the most dignified and uncompromising politicians and human rights champions of recent times.

Biopic of Ang San Suu Kyi a notch above the rest

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

Besson hits familiar biopic beats, but the formula could have used something a little more daring to liven things up.
