Top Critics Reviews

rotten:
Bereft of the more richly textured sentiments of Tornatore's Cinema Paradiso.
– Richard Schickel,
TIME Magazine,
7 Feb 2001
fresh:
[Tornatore] eludes sentimentality with a romantic vision wide enough to embrace the range of human experience.
– Mick LaSalle,
San Francisco Chronicle,
7 Feb 2001
rotten:
Despite Bellucci's strong presence in a role with little dialogue, the central character never really comes alive in any way interesting enough to give her ordeal much genuine pathos.
– David Rooney,
Variety,
7 Feb 2001
fresh:
Its heart is in the right place.
– Jay Boyar,
Orlando Sentinel,

Transparently misogynist at its core.
