Critic Reviews

  • Manohla Dargis, Los Angeles Times

    A movie that looks like a muddy second-generation Xerox and contains all the emotional and intellectual appeal of cold tea and soggy toast.

  • Andrew Sarris, New York Observer

    The fragmented storytelling is, well, vintage Pinter, but Ms. Dench and Mr. Irons remain mesmerizing after all this time.

  • Mike D'Angelo, Time Out New York

    A flinty-eyed portrait of romantic naïveté and predatory narcissism that would likely have continued to gather dust in the archives if not for its retroactive star power.

  • A.O. Scott, New York Times

    The story is a muted melodrama made strange and haunting by the manner of its telling.

  • Megan Turner, New York Post

    An atmospheric and subtly engrossing relationship saga.
