Reviews

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

The Hollywood Reporter -
This is an art film in spades.
|
|
Variety -
An intelligent, visually ravishing adaptation of Tracy Chevalier's best-selling novel.
|
|
Entertainment Weekly -
The actress (Scarlett Johansson) gives a nearly silent performance, yet the interplay on her face of fear, ignorance, curiosity, and sex is intensely dramatic.
|
|
The A.V. Club -
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.
