Critic Reviews

Emanuel Levy, EmanuelLevy.Com
Very much in the British tradition of literary quality, this intimate, intelligent film is extremely well acted by Tom Conti in an Oscar-nominated performance.
Frederic and Mary Ann Brussat, Spirituality and Practice
A comic adaptation of a witty Peter DeVries novel.
Rich Cline, Shadows on the Wall
intelligent and very well-acted
