Superlative acting by Hopkins and Winger elevates this fictionalized late-in-life romance between the repressed British scholar and writer C.S. Lewis and the American Jewish housewife-poet who introduces him to sex and rejuvenates his life.
Emanuel Levy, Variety

Here is Mr. Hopkins giving an amazingly versatile and moving performance, shifting the light in those knowing blue eyes to reveal endless shadings between delight and sorrow.
Janet Maslin, New York Times

Sit back, watch a master at work, and never once believe that you're not observing the real C.S. Lewis.
James Berardinelli, ReelViews

It understands that not everyone falls into love through the avenue of physical desire; that for some, the lust may be for another's mind, for inner beauty.
Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times
