Critic Reviews
-
Mike Edwards, What Culture
The sumptuous visuals make it eminently watchable.
-
Jason Best, Movie Talk
Ozon films this saga with a straight face, but the overripe dialogue, dodgy back-projection and unrestrained acting all signal that he is smirking behind his hand.
-
Brian Tallerico, HollywoodChicago.com
A film that's a total mess, but in kind of a beautiful way.
-
Rich Cline, Shadows on the Wall
With a surface like a trashy novel and the undercurrents of a social satire, Ozon's British period drama is a slightly odd mix, feeling both arch and astute at the same time.

Derek Malcolm, This is London
François Ozon is a Gallic Michael Winterbottom, if not in style then at least in his determination to do something different every time. As with Winterbottom, sometimes the result is great and sometimes not.
