Top Critics Reviews

fresh:
Director Stephen Frears accelerates entertainingly through Christopher Hampton's wig-and-powder sado-comedy about sexual mind games in 18th-century France.

fresh:
Witty, entertaining, if occasionally overripe.

fresh:
A sombre, manipulative affair in which the decor is never allowed to usurp our interest.

fresh:
The creepy plot still holds a certain fascination.

rotten:
This incisive study of sex as an arena for manipulative power games takes too long to catch fire and suffers from a deficient central performance.
