“The latest French adaptation of the classic, an expansive, handsomely mounted, big-budgeted affair written and directed by Matthieu Delaporte and Alexandre de La Patellière, doesn’t just deliver Dumas — it also serves as a reminder of the kind of movie Hollywood has forgotten how to make.”
– Bilge Ebiri, New York Magazine

“A stunning, emotionally satisfying adventure tale, built on rock-solid source material. Briskly paced and rousingly acted by an all-around stellar ensemble.”
– Peter Debruge, Variety
