Bel Ami Free movie streaming Bel Ami is the story of Georges Duroy, who travels through 1890s Paris, from cockroach ridden garrets to opulent salons, using his wits and powers of seduction to rise from poverty to wealth, from a prostitute's embrace to passionate trysts with wealthy beauties, in a world where politics and media jostle for influence, where sex is power and celebrity an obsession. -- (C) Magnolia R Release Date Bel Ami Jun 8, 2012 Limited | |

Review For Bel Ami |
"Bel Ami" is a handsome production, yet riddled with weaknesses. Colin Covert-Minneapolis Star Tribune
The supposedly cunning protagonist registers as a cipher, and the directors' tendency to shoot dialogue scenes in close-up blunts any understanding of the social milieu he's trying to conquer. Ben Sachs-Chicago Reader
The women are all elegant and intelligent, they know the ways of the world, and they know Georges' history. Why do they find him attractive? We don't, and that failure is the downfall of the film. Roger Ebert-Chicago Sun-Times
Pattinson's passion is bloodless, his rakish George Duroy a font of undelivered potential. John Anderson-Newsday
What distinguishes Pattinson in the role is the sense he conveys of someone roiling and churning beneath a surface that is almost, but not quite, calm. Mick LaSalle-San Francisco Chronicle
Cramming over 400 pages into a little over 100 minutes not only skips over important incidents - like Georges' embarrassed return home with one love -- but rushes the characters through emotional arcs. Stephen Whitty-Newark Star-Ledger
"Bel Ami" ends up being a film that feels cold and distant because of the stale lead and a story that makes no room for the affection between any of the couples. Jeff Beck-Examiner.com
This is the perfect film to cure someone of an obsession with "RPatz". Alice Tynan-Limelight
A gassy, self-satisfied adaptation of the 1885 novel of the same name, threadbare Parisian period piece Bel Ami belies the erroneous notion that costume dramas automatically have a higher IQ than their contemporary dramatic brethren. Brent Simon-Shared Darkness
Pattinson fails to step up and command this film with his performance, and never settles on anything definitive for his character. Dominic Corry-Flicks.co.nz
As a caddish young man who seduces his way up the social ladder in late-19th-century Paris, Robert Pattinson looks much more the part than a too-old-for-the-role George Sanders in Hollywood's watered-down 1947 version, The Private Affairs of Bel Ami. Jason Best-Movie Talk
The film is far too concerned with its 'costume' and not nearly enough with its 'drama'. Garth Franklin-Dark Horizons
Visually, the film is ornate and very attractive while the story, based on the 1885 novel by Guy de Maupassant, is essentially a pulpy morality tale about the perils of taking short cuts through life. A very satisfying, rough-edged period drama. Jim Schembri-3AW
Pattinson doesn't work as the manipulative cad that this story demands. Brian Tallerico-HollywoodChicago.com
A promising cast fails to save this period downer. Betty Jo Tucker-ReelTalk Movie Reviews
All four of the main actors are worth seeing, but don't expect the movie to amount to much. Chris Hewitt (St. Paul)-St. Paul Pioneer Press
Pattinson just stands there as if he's thinking, 'I'm sorry if this isn't enough for you, but I only have two faces I can make.' Matt Pais-RedEye
Good actors flit in and out of the movie - particularly Kristin Scott Thomas and Colm Meaney - but no one seems able to conquer the essential silliness of it all... Moira MacDonald-Seattle Times
Robert Pattinson is a terrible actor...Put him at the center of an actual movie and he's revealed as an empty pretty boy, a black hole of talent. Marshall Fine-Hollywood & Fine
Robert Pattinson fits right into this material - a blistering critique of a man who can't overcome his self-hatred. Robert Levin-amNewYork
Pattinson's weakness as an actor is all the more glaring when compared to his supporting players. Kelly Vance-East Bay Express
Robert Pattinson is bland in sex-filled costume drama. Sandie Angulo Chen-Common Sense Media
