Though it nearly falls apart in the end, the film is held together by its strong central performance.
While wine-making, especially in France, has historically been a business dominated by men , one of the most recognized and luxurious brands of champagne in the world remains Veuve Clicquot.
Everybody Loves Champagne But 'Widow Clicquot' Cares Too Much About the Wine-Making While I'm sure there are vignerons all over France who might be more interested in how Barbe-Nicole refined what is now known as modern champagne using a combination of red and white wines, the most uninteresting part of Widow Clicquot is when it gets mired in the business of wine-making.
Instead, the message it sluggishly tries to teach us is one you might expect. The story of how a woman with a can-do attitude, bolstered by her faith in capitalism, pulls herself up by her bootstraps and breaks through the glass ceiling of the industry despite her critics. It's not a true lie, but it also robs the film of some of its nuance. Napper doesn't seem to fully grasp that the champagne has become the least interesting part of his film.
Bennett doesn't shy away from the painful emotions of mourning. In one scene, she grieves François in a way that gives Heathcliff's mourning of Catherine a run for its money. Cutting from that to a cheerful moment when she is eager to hand out wages to her farmhands after finally succeeding in her business, there's a wide range of emotions to cover when playing this character.
