The site’s critical consensus reads, “Be Natural: The Untold Story of Alice Guy-Blach\u00e9 aims an overdue spotlight on a cinematic innovator’s career, with the added benefit of absorbing historical context.”[8] Reviewing for The Hollywood Reporter, Leslie Felperin considered that Be Natural “represents a timely contribution to the international conversation about the challenges facing women filmmakers while also boosting the reputation of someone who really should be better known by now as a role model. As a teaching and consciousness-raising tool, it will be an indispensable resource.”[9]A. O. Scott for The New York Times wrote, “Be Natural is inspiring because it is also appalling.”[10]In a less positive review, Jay Weissberg wrote in Variety: “there’s that title, The Untold Story, which ignores a number of earlier documentaries not to mention the significant amount of scholarship on pioneering filmmaker Alice Guy-Blach\u00e9. … These are what can be called inconvenient truths, for Pamela B. Green, director of Be Natural, is on a mission to discover why\u2014supposedly\u2014no one has ever heard of Alice Guy-Blach\u00e9.”[11]Be Natural premiered in the UK on January 17, 2020. Peter Bradshaw of The Guardian gave the film a 4 out of 5 star rating, calling it a “fascinating documentary.”[12] He also picked Be Natural as one of his 10 best documentaries of 2020.[13] Gaby Wood of The Telegraph gave a positive review, calling it “gripping and poetic.”[14] Danny Leigh of The Financial Times also gave the film 4 out of 5 stars, stating: “With timing both flawless and bleak, few films arrive feeling so vital as Be Natural: The Untold Story of Alice Guy-Blach\u00e9.“[15] In December, the film was named one of the 50 Best Films of 2020 in the UK by The Guardian.[16]The Guardian chief film critic Peter Bradshaw picked the film as one of his 10 favorite documentaries of 2020.[17]Be Natural premiered in France on June 22, 2020.
