Critics' reviews
- "It's Tykwer's most assured picture to date, and like much of Kieslowski's best work it qualifies simultaneously as engrossing narrative and philosophical parable."
- "Unusual, unexpected and strangely refreshing. For this movie to have resorted to a familiar action-flick finish with everything explained, pressed and dry-cleaned would have rendered it banal."
- "The movie changes almost magically from drama to chase to romance. As it does so its moral weight lessens; by the end there is less than what first engaged the mind. What meets the eye, though, is unforgettable."
- "Odd, and awkward in places, but its lyricism and power stay with you"
- "The result is both engrossing and moving, a poem about a love that breaks barriers and passes understanding"
- "It's maddeningly chowderheaded, simplistic, pretentious, and not a little silly. You can't take your eyes off it."
