The performances are impeccable, but honours go to Thompson, who manages to make Margaret's saintliness actually seem seductive.

It's time for legislation decreeing that no one be allowed to make a screen adaptation of a novel of any quality whatsoever if Ismail Merchant, James Ivory and Ruth Prawer Jhabvala are available, and if they elect to do the job.
Vincent Canby, New York Times

The film serves Forster by taking to heart the book's epigraph: "Only connect."
Peter Travers, Rolling Stone

Merchant and Ivory have regathered many of the cast and crew from their earlier films to work on this reproduction to exquisite effect.
Rita Kempley, Washington Post

A film seething with anger, passion, greed and emotional violence. That the characters are generally well-behaved says less about their manners than their inhibitions.
Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times
