Top Critics Reviews

fresh:
A remarkable example of the actor at his best -- conveying wounded hurt or burning hunger with a glance.
– Stephen Whitty,
Newark Star-Ledger,
29 Aug 2008
fresh:
Elegy is a rare treat: a serious film that, thanks to Kingsley and the rest, doesn't seem to take itself too seriously.
– Bill Goodykoontz,

rotten:
Penelope Cruz is outstanding in an otherwise lame male fantasy.
– Ray Bennett,
Hollywood Reporter,
18 Oct 2008
fresh:
Sparse, low-budget drama, helmed by Spaniard Isabel Coixet, intelligently translates Roth's meditation on lust and mortality without soft-pedaling its narrator's brutally honest, unabashedly sexist views.
– Leslie Felperin,

fresh:
With his fierce, impeccable craft Kingsley shows us around David's tortured, preening, desperate psyche.
