Top Critics Reviews
fresh:
handsomely mounted period piece, but can't shake off a certain air of good manners

rotten:
didn't for one moment convince me that these were real people, acting from the bottom of their hearts.

rotten:
a very strange and maddening movie, being a fascinating tale that's nowhere as provocative as it first promises to be and as the reputations of everyone connected with it might lead you to expect.
