	Author	Review
United States	Keith Uhlich The Hollywood Reporter	"This is in every way a tailored star vehicle, but the actress (Ricci) throws herself fully into every scene, playing up Zelda's the-world-bows-to-me! aggressiveness, while always hinting at the aching, delicate spirit underneath."	POS
United States	David Wiegand SFGATE	"It's possible that an acceptable performance could have patched over some of the cavernous inconsistencies in Zelda's characterization, but Ricci's performance is abominable."	NEG
United States	Maureen Ryan Variety	"The show’s repetitive storytelling would be less of a problem if it had more depth, but its characterizations rarely go beyond the rudimentary, and its dialogue is often clunky."	NEU
United States	Neil Genzlinger The New York Times	"There is exactly one sizzling moment in the 10 installments, and it has nothing to do with the couple’s supposedly fiery romance."	NEU
United States	Robert Rorke New York Post	"Even though we know this is one love story that doesn’t end well, 'The Beginning of Everything' delivers an entertaining seduction into a fabulous, bygone world. (...) Rating: ★★★ (out of four)"	POS
