- Critics' reviews
-
-
"The French Lieutenant's Woman is one of the most civilized and provocative movies of the year, but it falls just short of greatness"
-
"A rather poetic costume drama jarringly interrupted by bits of modern banality"
-
"The film's beauty is dazzling. It stands with—or perhaps a little ahead of—Stanley Kubrick's Barry Lyndon and Roman Polanski's Tess"
