- Critics' reviews
-
-
"The kind of richly layered film that Hollywood seldom attempts, much less brings off. But it's more than brought off here"
-
"Impeccably crafted but dramatically dull"
-
"The year's most beautiful movie -- and surely one of the dullest."
-
Has to fight to hold our attention and it doesn't always succeed
-
"Movies made from serious novels are often ridiculed as unworthy of their sources, but this one may be too worthy -- too reverent, too showy, too earnest."
