Olin, at turns daringly open and frustratingly restrained, makes Maya entirely her own, the focal point and reason for the film itself. Read full review

Where Maya Dardel really works is when it sticks to being a character study. Read full review

The main issue is that the story, while reasonably interesting, is not as interesting as the setup would like you to imagine, and that in such a context, Lena Olin is way too powerful for it. She not only overwhelms her young executor-suitors but the entire movie. Read full review

The proceedings are often stifling, but not without their prickly pleasures. Read full review

Olin never wavers in her commitment. She's often extraordinary in individual moments. Read full review
