Critic Reviews

Kevin Thomas

This graceful and wise film moves to its denouement with subtlety and, at its end, strikes a note that seems just right for all that has gone before. Read full review

Dallas Observer David Ehrenstein

Keeping the mood dry, Ozpetek and his very resourceful leading lady keep the proceedings from turning into an Almodóvar version of Mary Worth. Read full review

Desson Thomson

A movie that grows better by the minute. Read full review

TV Guide Magazine Ken Fox

Solid and engrossing melodrama. Read full review

Keith Phipps

Marta Barber
