Film Information

Widow Clicquot is based on the true story of the “Grande Dame of Champagne,” Barbe-Nicole Ponsardin (1777–1866) who, at the age of 20, became Madame Clicquot after marrying the scion of a winemaking family. Though their marriage was arranged, a timeless love blossomed between Barbe-Nicole (Haley Bennett) and her unconventional, erratic husband, François (Tom Sturridge). After her husband’s untimely death, Barbe-Nicole flouts convention by assuming the reins of the fledgling wine business they had nurtured together. Steering the company through dizzying political and financial reversals, she defies her critics and revolutionizes the champagne industry to become one of the world’s first great entrepreneurs.

Reviews

“There was enough story here for an epic, but Napper chose to make a poem-like movie, one that sustains a tone of mystery and wonder from start to finish.”

Mick LaSalle
San Francisco Chronicle

“Bennett lifts the story up just like the bubbles in the veuve’s own delicious champagne, showing us the brilliance in this biopic drama.”

Therese Lacson
Collider

“A radical feminist story set in a stunning locale, with an exciting, Barry Lyndon-esque score, and Bennett’s magnetic presence, the TIFF favourite about early, dangerous feminism and the brave soul who abided is unusual and welcome.”
