September 24, 2009It?s not bad but I very much doubt I will ever watch it again! I found Zellweger extremely irritating.

November 16, 2008I hated this movie. I don't know why...the cast was awesome, but I never got into it. It was just really boring.

September 30, 2008Ada: [voiceover] "Dear Mr. Inman, I began by counting the days, then the months. I don't count on anything anymore except the hope that you will return, and the silent fear that in the years since we saw each other, this war, this awful war, will have changed us both beyond al...( read more)

October 22, 2009The love story on Inman and Ada is one of my favorites, cannot believe that I had left it off of my faves list. Shame on me. Beautifully shot, wonderfully written and the cast is amazing. From Jude Law's Inman and Nicole Kidman's Ada, to the supporting cast made up of such great ...( read more)

Stephanie Zacharek, Salon.com
Cold is right -- Anthony Minghella's pretty, star-studded adaptation of the bestselling Civil War romance never makes it above freezing. full review
December 26, 2003
Mick LaSalle, San Francisco Chronicle
At 154 minutes, Cold Mountain is long and seems long, at times inspired, at times merely dutiful. But in most of the important ways, it succeeds. full review
December 25, 2003
Moira MacDonald, Seattle Times
Law's performance ... sustains us throughout the movie, just as love sustains Inman during his long separation from Ada. full review
December 25, 2003
David Edelstein, Slate
Good, sometimes thrilling, but it's less a war epic than an evocative romantic melodrama with a patchy first hour. full review
December 25, 2003
A.O. Scott, The New York Times
As they might have said in the old days, this sweeping historical romance is one heck of a classy picture which is both its great virtue and its limitation. full review
December 24, 2003
Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times
It evokes a backwater of the Civil War with rare beauty, and lights up with an assortment of colorful supporting characters. full review

November 24, 2007Love expressed itself in heroism and determination through the crumbling confederacy and varying obstacles and pressures of time. Both Ada and Inman have their stories—bound together by their calm resolve to see each other through.
I’ve not seen it in the theatre but have bought the DVD—I tell you, it’s worth it. -

July 22, 2006An absolutely amazing and extremely moving and emotional film. A MUST SEE! This film has a very beautiful musical score, and contains some of the best acting (esp. by Renee Zelweger) that i have ever seen. The film is so moving and fast paced that the two and a half hours seem very short, and when the film ends, it leaves the viewer internally and emotionally moved. The visuals of this film are mesmirizing, and I must say again that It is a MUST SEE!

June 21, 2006This film is a MUST-SEE. It's beautifully crafted, assembled, and absolutely mesmerizing in all aspects of filmmaking techniques and style. The music score and soundtracks are so appropriate locked into the events and the moods of the characters. And the film's title? It does project its allegorical appeal
