A British medical doctor fights a cholera outbreak in a small Chinese village, while also being trapped at home in a loveless marriage to an unfaithful wife.
Top critics, in their words
The always surprising Watts creates a woman at once contemporary and retro. And Norton, as a producer as well as star, concedes enough space for Schreiber and the effortlessly fascinating Jones to earn their own spotlights.
Sweeping vistas, period-piece sets, impeccable literary source, a little stolid at times, but ultimately quite impressive.
The movie makes for a good old-fashioned wide-screen wallow.
Exquisitely filmed and finely acted.
The acting is quite splendid, especially in the vicinity of the quite splendid Watts.
