The pace is so lethargic and the focus so diffuse that it's hard to get a fix on Charlotte beyond needless glamorization.
Bruce Westbrook, Houston Chronicle

Mounts a romantic drama of the World War II era in mostly glossy, shallow terms.
Susan Stark, Detroit News

If this is melodrama, it's melodrama of a superior rank, and I salute it.
Terry Lawson, Detroit Free Press
Rotten
While Blanchett's presence is surely felt in virtually every scene of the movie, her acting isn't. We don't connect with her at all.
Steven Rosen, Denver Post

This is Blanchett's film. Her quiet, detailed work leaves you wanting more.
Jay Boyar, Orlando Sentinel
