- Critics' reviews
-
-
"Plays more like Scenes From Edith Wharton's Novel than a dramatically involving adaptation."
-
"Davies attains a narrative purity of shocking intimacy and emotional force."
-
"Those who know Anderson only from TV's X-Files will find this performance a revelation."
-
"Although set nearly a hundred years ago, it still sends a chill of recognition and dread."
-
Davies becomes so transfixed by the detail of this self-enclosed world of privileged hypocrites that he omits to give his film any emotional drive.
