	Author	Review
United States	Jeannette Catsoulis The New York Times	"The result is a good-looking but overstuffed genre pileup that confuses as often as it compels."	NEU
United States	Frank Scheck The Hollywood Reporter	"This film's gorgeous exoticism marvelously enhances its spooky allure (...) A well-crafted combination of doomed romance and ghost story"	POS
United States	Scott Tobias Variety	"The sheer busyness of the conceit is both asset and liability, whipping up a tonally calamitous mélange that’s nonetheless compelling for its absence of caution."	NEU
