Reviews
|
Washington Post -
A delectably naughty experience. This sort of wit and immediacy is extraordinarily rare in a period film.
|
|
Entertainment Weekly -
Pfeiffer reveals an emotional nakedness that's almost shocking. Never has she exposed so much and done it so simply. Who knew she could be this good?
|
|
The New York Times -
Nothing Miss Close has done on the screen before approaches the richness and comic delicacy of her work as the Marquise. [21 Dec 1988, p.C22]

|
Time -
An excellent film. [16 Jan 1989, p.64]

Los Angeles Times -
In addition to its photography, the film's details of costuming (by "The Last Emperor's" James Acheson) and production design (by Stuart Craig of "Gandhi" and "The Mission") are ravishing. [21 Dec 1988, Calendar p.6]
