I really don't understand why some critics say the film is too long - I certainly did not feel that way. I found it interesting and extremely informative... I learned so much. Loved it!

Burma, this obscure country where a bloody military regime has been reigning for the last half century whole our lives go on so peaceably here. The Lady is the ongoing story of this little intrepid woman, mother of two young boys, who took on her destiny to light the torch of democracy in this deep darkness. Her name: Aung San Suu Kyi (commonly known as Su) Probably, this is the first time you heard of her. Remember her name. It will surely resonate in history as a certain Gandhi did in the last century. She resisted peacefully to this great oppression thus forfeiting her family and personal happiness. This film is important for making this struggle known to the world. The film itself is tightly strung: whether it’s the portrayal of the brutality of the regime in power, the torments of this woman at odds between the future of her people and her responsibilities to her family and the difficult mobilisation of the international community reticent to intervene. A film to see absolutely!

I thoroughly enjoyed the movie. The cinematography and editing are impressive. The storyline unfolds in captivating ways around the love relationship of a husband and wife, made difficult by long separations and long distances and also unfolds in a politically violent Burma, full of turmoil, where Aung San Suu Kyi, the lady with flowers in her hair, becomes a leader of the pro democracy movement. She is poised and elegant and strong - Michelle Yeoh gives a superb performance. Emotionally charged, dynamic, intense, riveting - and so much more. Some moments of scenes were simply stunning visually and emotionally. I absolutely recommend this powerful drama!

Touching movie. Well documented. Excellent actress.

Very well done on a very tragic subject which is still playing in Myanmar. Impressed by the sets of a beautiful country and authentic story telling.

I enjoyed the interesting angle of the love story between husband and wife and the great support offered by the husband and children. However, it was far too long and would have had more impact had some of the scenes been shortened.

Well crafted and informative. Shows the anguish of heroic people when they have to choose between duty and family. Great performances. Some scenes gory but they did not overdo it. Well worth seeing.

There is not much I can add to all the great reviews of this movie. But I am curious to see if the political old boys club called the Academy of Motion Picture Arts gives Michelle Yeoh the Academy Award for best actress in 2012, which she richly deserves.

Those of you who were at the U2 concerts this past summer (360 Tour) ought to go see that movie for one of the causes that the group endorsed was for "The Lady" to be freed from house arrest. Some references to U2 and sound tracks from them are also present in the movie. Nice touch from the director. Jean-Luc Besson took the love story angle for the movie. It doesn't mean that the Lady's combat for democracy is absent. It is more to demonstrate how her combat had impacted her relationship with her husband and kids, who supported her for so many years.

Good movie - wonderful and true story - but, a little too long - boring in some parts.

Very powerful movie; a story of courage and devotion. What a strong, courageous and loving lady, Aung San Suu Kyi, who had to make very difficult decisions between her family and her country. She changed history. Both Michele Yeoh and David Thewlis are great performers in this movie. A must see.

Michelle Yeoh was an excellent choice for portraying this Nobel Prize winner, Aug Suu Kyi on the giant screen, excellent casting as well great script; based on a true story; don't miss this one!!

Informative and topical... this movie is also inspirational... Michelle Yeoh's portrayal of Aung San Suu Kyi is fantastic. I felt like giving a standing ovation at the end.

I loved the movie. I haven't known nothing about Burma or Aung San Suu Kyi and I found it very interesting and that woman is just amazing. She is like a Gandhi in a woman. It just make me feel very lucky that I don't live under some dictator and the story makes you believe that love and peace must win at the end, but the way can be long and full of sorrow and tears- unfortunately.

The power of one person is magic. Do you remember the One-man standing in front of the tanks in Tienamin Square? This lady is the tank that stood in the way of the dictators. Carp Diem.

Excellent Film. Worth the money and time to go see it. Amazing woman who deserves to be recognized as a living Saint.

A masterpiece of content, showing how democratic-minded people were and are treated in Burma. Not at all a person who comes to tears while watching movies, and from 14 years living in Central-America used to political terror around me, I was brought to tears by the situation of this "female warrior of love", Aung San Suu Kyi. This extraordinary movie with exceptionally capable actors gives clear historic insights about Burma. It demonstrates as well to what extend people are able to act atrociously - for what sake?

I enjoyed the movie because it filled in a lot of the blanks around Aung San Suu Kyi's history. There is a lot of violence in the film and it was too long. It's a sad story and there are long scenes with Aung San Suu Kyi weeping by herself... Worth seeing for the history - but I don't recommend it if you're looking for an entertaining evening out.

Her freedom to choose between staying in Burma and going home to see her dying husband was, as she said, "No freedom at all". I was moved to tears by her dilemma.

A must see - to know about Burma's recent history that has been mostly under the radar. An amazing true story of a woman whose power is truth, love and a fierce commitment to human rights, freedom and non-violence. Aung San Suu Kyi's bravery in the face of a brutal military is sobering and inspiring.

A very moving movie about Burma. This is a very inspiring movie.

A very interesting movie especially if one considers the successful overthrows of despots in recent years. The protagonist losses everything and even now, nothing has changed in her country. It certainly makes you think.

A terrific film on a history lesson of the amazing life and democratic crusade of Aung San Suu Kyi. It's inspiring to see how a lone woman with the love and support of her husband tried to alter the history of a country with a strict code of anti-violence. Beautifully act by Michelle Yeoh and David Thewlis.
