Top Critics Reviews

Astoundingly tedious.

rotten:
The picture is completely devoid of cinematic interest, adopting instead a tiresome theatrical aesthetic in which showy monologues are filmed in interminable, usually ill-chosen long takes.

rotten:
By the end, the accumulated weight and lethargy of the production fails to invest Sophie's fate with the significance Styron achieves.

So perfectly cast and well-imagined that it just takes over and happens to you. It's quite an experience.

Though it's far from a flawless movie, Sophie's Choice is a unified and deeply affecting one. Thanks in large part to Miss Streep's bravura performance, it's a film that casts a powerful, uninterrupted spell.
