New York Daily News - Unnamed
Suckers for romance likely won’t complain, but this Josh Hartnett time-travel epic is nuts.

Village Voice - Inkoo Kang
Bring a notebook and some tissues — the mission to protect the queen becomes a tangle of shifting alliances between local and British forces that might require visual aids, while the snail-slow realization of gloomy prophecies may well tear you up in boredom.

Los Angeles Times - Michael Rechtshaffen
There's a veil of artifice clinging to every aspect of The Lovers, a thoroughly unconvincing time-traveling epic costume drama pairing a miscast Josh Hartnett and Bollywood beauty Bipasha Basu.

The New York Times - Ben Kenigsberg
[An] inert, exasperatingly proportioned phantasmagoria from Roland Joffé.

RogerEbert.com - Glenn Kenny
The scenic cinematography by Ben Nott is often beautiful, which distracts, at times, from the fact that the storyline is both convoluted in the most gratuitous way possible and that it’s enacted in the most unengaging way imaginable.
