Top Critics Reviews
rotten:
Smug and unconvincing, this 2008 period drama from the Netherlands is the sort of movie that defines an era solely by its prejudices, on the implicit assumption that we'll applaud the central characters for their modern attitudes.

This very pretty melodrama is a rather ordinary entry.

rotten:
Aside from its period New Zealand setting, there is little to distinguish Bride Flight from something you might watch briefly on Lifetime, then change the channel.

fresh:
The events in the plot are the stuff of soap opera, but the movie treats it seriously, and the acting is convincing enough that we forgive the story and begin to care about the characters.

fresh:
Lovely scenery and historical context elevate the sentimental story lines above the soap opera domain.
