Top Critics Reviews
rotten:
The pace is so lethargic and the focus so diffuse that it's hard to get a fix on Charlotte beyond needless glamorization.

rotten:
Mounts a romantic drama of the World War II era in mostly glossy, shallow terms.

If this is melodrama, it's melodrama of a superior rank, and I salute it.

rotten:
While Blanchett's presence is surely felt in virtually every scene of the movie, her acting isn't. We don't connect with her at all.

This is Blanchett's film. Her quiet, detailed work leaves you wanting more.
