[Tornatore] eludes sentimentality with a romantic vision wide enough to embrace the range of human experience.
Mick LaSalle, San Francisco Chronicle
Rotten
Despite Bellucci's strong presence in a role with little dialogue, the central character never really comes alive in any way interesting enough to give her ordeal much genuine pathos.
David Rooney, Variety

Its heart is in the right place.
Jay Boyar, Orlando Sentinel

Transparently misogynist at its core.
Kevin Maynard, Mr. Showbiz
