Critic Reviews
-
Jonathan F. Richards, Film.com
With his fierce, impeccable craft Kingsley shows us around David's tortured, preening, desperate psyche.
-
Leslie Felperin, Variety
Sparse, low-budget drama, helmed by Spaniard Isabel Coixet, intelligently translates Roth's meditation on lust and mortality without soft-pedaling its narrator's brutally honest, unabashedly sexist views.
-
Ray Bennett, Hollywood Reporter
Penelope Cruz is outstanding in an otherwise lame male fantasy.
-
Bill Goodykoontz, Arizona Republic
Elegy is a rare treat: a serious film that, thanks to Kingsley and the rest, doesn't seem to take itself too seriously.
-
Stephen Whitty, Newark Star-Ledger
A remarkable example of the actor at his best -- conveying wounded hurt or burning hunger with a glance.
