The movie is an exquisite period piece, slow and dank, and unduly persuaded that it's rendering a classic.
David Thomson, The New Republic

[Weisz'] performance that transforms her from actress to movie star.
Dana Stevens, Slate

The best parts of the movie, like the scene with William's mother, involve isolated set pieces in which Weisz interacts with another actor.
Bill Goodykoontz, Arizona Republic

A story of passion and its aftermath; of what happens when an unhappy woman goes chasing after something shiny, only to find how quickly it fades.
Moira MacDonald, Seattle Times
