RogerEbert.com -
The kind of lush historical drama that Hollywood might have made in the 1930s but these days unsurprisingly owes its existence to foreign producers and, most especially, a renowned literary source.

The New York Times -
Asif Kapadia, the director (whose film “Amy” won an Oscar for best documentary), has a fine eye for splendor, as does Gokhan Tiryaki, his cinematographer. Mr. Kapadia’s sense of pacing isn’t as acute.

Village Voice -
It's all very tasteful, if not terribly exciting.

Los Angeles Times -
There’s zero chemistry or feeling to this sweeping, predictable endeavor, only the scent of what might have been.
