A well-acted but bloodless drama.

Terry Lawson, Detroit Free Press
Fresh

O'Sullivan is not a director of great visual flamboyance, but he draws out here performances of subtle and complex shading.

Derek Adams, Time Out
Fresh

While far from the gold standard of The Remains of the Day, it presses all the appropriate buttons.

Jay Boyar, Orlando Sentinel
Fresh

A little, heartbreaking gem.

Michael O'Sullivan, Washington Post
Rotten

Terribly tragic, terribly romantic and, ultimately, terribly, terribly dull.

Ann Hornaday, Washington Post
