PRO REVIEWS
----------------------------------------
"It does represent the unique vision of an artist who needs to be met halfway, and in an age of hubbub, its patient elegance is a rare thing we should nurture. (...) Rating: **** (out of five)" (Damon Wise: Empire) ----------------------------------------
"The social and psychological particulars, and the wonderful period details, are part of the background. And Mr. Hiddleston and Mr. Beale, disciplined and sensitive actors though they are, exist in the penumbra of Ms. Weisz's incandescence" (A. O. Scott: The New York Times) ----------------------------------------
"Exceptionally well-made and completely fearless in its depiction of the widest range of romantic emotions, this is a film as fiercely committed to passion as its heroine, and that's saying a lot" (Kenneth Turan: Los Angeles Times) ----------------------------------------
