Washington Post - Desson Thomson
Awash in heart-rending emotions and gorgeous images, this is a movie to lose yourself in.

Film.com - Sean Means
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 - Kenneth Turan
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 - Peter Stack
A mesmerizing film that is the most stunning, tempestuous love story in a decade or two of movie making.

Mr. Showbiz - F. X. Feeney
Astonishingly deep and moving.
