	Author	Review
United States	Justin Chang Variety	"Shorn of eroticism, intensity or purpose... it strikes familiar beats in a manner more strained than inspired."	NEU
United States	Joshua Rothkopf Time Out	"Doomed love will never go out of style, but would it have killed director Carlo Carlei to inject the proceedings with some modern-day aloofness? (...) Rating: ★★★ (out of 5)"	NEU
United Kingdom	Tim Grierson Screendaily	"The film's safe approach provides an inviting surface but never risks digging into the material. The lovers are impassioned, but the telling is only lukewarm."	NEU
United States	Manohla Dargis The New York Times	"A sufficiently entertaining, adamantly old-fashioned adaptation that follows the play's general outline."	POS
United States	Claudia Puig USA Today	"While there is a pleasantness about this faithful Shakespearean reboot, there also is some woeful miscasting and a lukewarm feeling about the straightforward production. (...) Rating: ★★ (out of 4)"	NEU
