Top Critics Reviews

rotten:
As with all of Minghella's films, there's intelligence and texture and depth and feeling, though here the emotions can seem frostbitten. Perhaps the first thing that wasn't working and needed to be fully broken to heal was the script.

rotten:
Breaking and Entering offers a kinder, gentler version of London's strife than we're accustomed to seeing. Not all parts of the script are equally well-developed, and sometimes it seems as if we're looking at drama under glass.

Despite its arty construction and clever dialogue, Breaking and Entering leaves us too chilly to care.

rotten:
Though Binoche does very solid work, she can't sell the idea of her and Law as a couple; the chemistry isn't there. Not much else rings true in Minghella's screenplay, which is full of coincidences and speeches about race and class.

The complicated interactions involving class and culture that ensue between all these characters remain fascinating even when they seem overly schematic.
