Film.com -
It feels like a dream that a movie could have this kind of poetic grace and epic sweep, or could be so faithful to its source and still work so perfectly as a film.

Los Angeles Times -
Rising to crescendos of emotion usually reached only by tenors and sopranos, these characters are the beneficiaries of the luminous writing of the novel and screenplay as well as the expert performances of the actors, especially Scott Thomas.

San Francisco Chronicle -
A mesmerizing film that is the most stunning, tempestuous love story in a decade or two of movie making.
