Top critics, in their words
The line between truth and illusion is blurred so persuasively that for a moment or two, you may even believe that a romantic costume drama could stand up to all those special-effects blockbusters in the dog days of summer.
With exquisite performances (Giamatti's, in particular), it leaves you thrillingly hovering, happily uncommitted to any one interpretation.
You may be temporarily beguiled, but not fooled.
What (director Neil) Burger and his colleagues have done is to entrance us with a richly acted, beautifully produced story.
Conjures up a world of mystery, romance and suspense.
