Critics' reviews
- "Has everything a period romance should have, including a score by Michael Nyman and passionate performances by stars Ralph Fiennes and Julianne Moore"
- "Few recent movie romances have a more chilling and peculiar feel -- and a more sobering aftertaste"
- "This is the kind of movie in which even the sex scenes are soulless."
- "Rather prosy until its final third. Then it grabs you with unexpected force."
