Poster Rating: C / C- / C / C-

Review: (#1) Very French, but also very unappealing. Two concepts that should be foreign to one another.

(#2) A big poster of your film’s star might entice a small portion of Keira Knightley’s fans, but the lack of depth won’t help secure many. (#3) The only thing that makes this almost identical design different than the prior is the distinct violet background, which could stand out in a crowded marketplace. (#4) More lackluster designs with little more than Knightly as a sales tool. This one at least has notices from critics to bolster its potential.

Trailer Rating: C+ / B

Review: (#1) Somewhere in this trailer is a fascinating story, buried deep within plodding cuts and a lackluster structure.

(#2) With a better beat structure and a little more sense of female empowerment without going on too long, this trailer is a fairly solid effort and might do a decent amount of positive sales work.
