Critics on Rotten Tomatoes
Top critics, in their words
A meandering but transporting journey, which offers glimpses of a world as resplendent as it is stifling.

An alternately rapturous and frustrating experience.
This is a sad story in rich surroundings that makes you wonder how many women of genius were left behind.
