It suffers mightily from its deliberate pacing, pale characterizations, obvious plot and some woeful miscasting.

Fresh
coiled, nuanced, resonant tale.
Susan Stark, Detroit News
Rotten
In this movie, all displays of passion feel like gaudy pantomime.
Geoff Pevere, Toronto Star
Rotten
It is beautifully, dramatically and grandly long, tedious, boring and slow.
Pam Sitt, Seattle Times
Rotten
Makes the viewer wish that Ivory had cast a more accomplished actress -- Kate Winslet, perhaps, or Cate Blanchett -- who could give dimension to the character and indicate subtext in a way that Thurman can't.
