Top Critics Reviews

rotten:
The schoolmaster to whom our pity is drawn is a pretty weak and lukewarm individual, hardly fit to be a teacher of growing boys -- even a teacher of classical languages, which he is.
– Bosley Crowther,
New York Times,
20 May 2003
rotten:

– Dave Kehr,

fresh:
Worth watching for Redgrave's powerfully detailed performance as the schoolmaster.
– Tom Milne,

24 Jun 2006
fresh:
