Top Critics Reviews

rotten:
Unfortunately, the parade of consequences brought on by the affair has little emotional substance.

rotten:
It might have been more convincing if it had emphasized personalities rather than types.

When the rains in Before the Rains finally arrive, there's nothing to cleanse, no real dirt to wash away -- not with history already so neatly packaged and polished to a dull shine.
