Critic Reviews

Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times
It is a tragic love story told in limp images, its tone a dying sigh, its high points scarcely less nostalgic than the low.
Dennis Schwartz, Ozus' World Movie Reviews
A beautiful to look at but an embarrassingly awkward and empty tragic 19th-century love tale.
