The elegance of Roger Pratt's camera and the handsome costuming create a tension between the stately surface world and the raw passion of the characters.

Handsomely mounted, literate, emotionally sophisticated, The End of the Affair has everything a period romance should have.
Kenneth Turan, Los Angeles Times

Jordan proves again that he is a supreme storyteller of complex human dramas.
Emanuel Levy, Variety

The characters are so unsympathetic, the adulterous love affair at the heart of the story so joyless, and the three main performances so mannered that it's hard to feel anything but disappointment and boredom.
Jonathan Foreman, New York Post
