Sometimes you're watching a bad movie, and you're like, 'Well, I'm still entertained,' so I'm recommending it on that sort of level.

Mike Newell's handsome adaptation of Gabriel Garcia Marquez' novel looks lovely, but feels lifeless; the chemistry between the main characters just isn't there.
Moira MacDonald, Seattle Times

[Actress Mezzogiorno] finds the story's emotion by resisting the tug of the movie into grandeur.
Mick LaSalle, San Francisco Chronicle

Bardem's hypnotic presence, like that of an Easter Island statue come to life, is one of the film's many pleasures. As is its intimations of a love everlasting.
Carrie Rickey, Philadelphia Inquirer

There isn't an actor here who really connects.
