Reviews

Björn Becher von Filmstarts wrote as a conclusion: “Even emotionally powerful moments, like Edward VIII's moving abdication speech, are buried by the filmmaker Madonna under pompous music and hip images. If the musician Madonna is often rightly celebrated for her provocative “Style over Substance”, with her love drama “WE” she proves above all that MTV and cinema are two completely different worlds. ”The site gave the film 1.5 out of a possible 5 Stars.
Daniel Sander from Spiegel Online liked the "great actress and the [ie] amazingly loving and withdrawn way in which Madonna draws the love story between Wallis and Edward VIII." In addition, “detailed costumes, magnificent furnishings and some pretty ideas” were praised. On the other hand, Sander criticized "the story of the New York housewife Wally Winthrop" as not "loving and withdrawn, but overly clear, eaten up by pathos and banal". Sander also wrote that the film was “occasionally a bit embarrassing”, which he called “when Wally [...] is the lady from bygone days” or when “[Wally] gets the pregnancy hormone injection again with a deafening heartbeat soundtrack ramming the thigh ”. Sander rated the film as “horrible. And great. "
