Potter eschews drama for posing, politics for postulating, and provides enough symbolic broad strokes to gag a magic realist.
Kevin Courrier, Globe and Mail

It's as though we're being dared not to take the movie seriously, although nothing but the pre-Holocaust setting compels you to do so.
Geoff Pevere, Toronto Star

There's only one performer in the movie who looks completely at ease with what he's doing: the horse.

If [Potter] personally, in her 40s, can go to Argentina and become a tango dancer, then we can't complain about anything that happens to Suzie. Not that we'd want to.
Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times
