A

Anthony Lane

RTIndependent (UK)Jan 4, 2018

Incest, drowning, teenage sex on a train: it's all here, but none of it clings to your mind.

RTVarietyFeb 23, 2012

A talented but terminally parched piece of literary cinema.

C

Critic

RTTime OutJan 26, 2006

It's a brave endeavour, held together by Robert Elswit's poetic photography, and by Irons' authoritative impression of the crumbling desperation behind the chalk-dusted facade of a pensive history man.

P

Philip French

RTObserver (UK)Aug 5, 2024

As adapted by Peter Prince and directed by American Stephen Gyllenhaal, the film is a frequent embarrassment.
