The New Yorker - Anthony Lane
Look closely at Johansson...an immaculate period performance. [15 December 2003, p. 119]

The Hollywood Reporter - Kirk Honeycutt
This is an art film in spades.
90
Variety - Todd McCarthy
An intelligent, visually ravishing adaptation of Tracy Chevalier's best-selling novel.
83
Entertainment Weekly - Owen Gleiberman
The actress (Scarlett Johansson) gives a nearly silent performance, yet the interplay on her face of fear, ignorance, curiosity, and sex is intensely dramatic.
80
The A.V. Club - Keith Phipps
Webber displays a great sense of understatement and a keen eye for careful framing, with cinematographer Eduardo Serra beautifully re-creating Vermeer's signature play of shadow and light.
