Top Critics Reviews

fresh:
This is after all a Gillian Anderson picture, which means the film's physical production is just as impressive as its spiritual apsiration; Cate Blanchett, in a role originally intended for Judy Davis, is bound to become a major star

rotten:
There's a lack of dramatic focus, and the leads fail to evince any particular chemistry.
