A boldly realised, affecting work.
Derek Adams, Time Out
Rotten
A puzzling and forbidding strangeness.
Peter Rainer, New York Magazine/Vulture

The film actually improves on Cunningham's novel, thanks to gorgeous cinematography, a deft script by playwright David Hare ... a mournful, melodious but never intrusive score by Philip Glass and a superb cast.
Connie Ogle, Miami Herald

A compelling, moving film that respects its audience and its source material.
