- Critics' reviews
-
-
"Engrossing, graceful adaptation (...) lucid, absorbing and finally deeply moving"
-
"A slow-moving but absorbing story of sexual awakening and moral dilemmas. (...) Though the effort is uneven, it's a well-acted romance that becomes a less compelling courtroom drama. (...) Rating: ★★★ (out of four)."
