Critics' reviews
- "Supple, eloquent and enchanting."
- "Sets you nearer than theater permits -- and further back than most movies dare. A magic vantage."
- "Playful as it is, Clare Peploe's adaptation of Pierre Marivaux's romantic comedy coughs and sputters on its own postmodern conceit."
- "Light, thoroughly entertaining comedy"
- "However charming Kingsley and Shaw are as the lovestruck pawns and Sorvino as the advancing queen, the premise is less playful than played-out."
- "The artifice may be ancient, but the thought and emotions -- and especially Sorvino -- are beautifully, refreshingly modern."
- "A gorgeous, witty, seductive movie."
