The heart of Pushkin's celebrated classic pumps firm and full in debuting director Martha Fiennes' richly textured pic version.
Derek Elley, Variety
Rotten
There is a cool, mannered elegance to the picture that I like, but it's dead at its center.
Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times
Rotten
The film's only real flaw -- alas, a substantial one -- is that its pace is too deliberate and gets more deliberate as it goes along.
Mick LaSalle, San Francisco Chronicle
Rotten
Unable to capture either its wit, psychological acuity, or formal rigor, the movie essentially reduces the schematic, seesaw narrative to doomy cliches.
Dennis Lim, Village Voice
