Galathea Audience Reviews

TeenzTen An action-packed slog
Sammy-Jo Cervantes There are moments that feel comical, some horrific, and some downright inspiring but the tonal shifts hardly matter as the end results come to a film that's perfect for this time.
Yash Wade Close shines in drama with strong language, adult themes.
Quiet Muffin This movie tries so hard to be funny, yet it falls flat every time. Just another example of recycled ideas repackaged with women in an attempt to appeal to a certain audience.
boblipton The Greek legend of Pygmalion and Galatea get the Lotte Reininger silhouette treatment in this lovely and funny adaptation of the old Greek myth. Pygmalion falls in love with his statue of a beautiful woman and his prayers are answered: she becomes a live woman -- in this case she transforms from part of the painted background into one of Reininger's silhouette figures. But Pygmalion, who has conventional ideas of how women should behave, finds that his creation has different ideas of what she wants....Lotte Reininger's silhouettes may be difficult to follow, since the aesthetics involved are different from standard movies: but the beauties of her details and her sense of humor should be enough to draw you in, should you be fortunate enough to see them.
