	Media	Author	Review
		David Rooney The Hollywood Reporter	"A thankless journey (...) the movie just plods along, accompanied by decorous snatches of strings or piano, sifting through the embers of a supposedly still smoldering failed love story without raising a spark."
		Owen Gleiberman Variety	"It may just be a classy soap opera, but it's his best film in a long time."

		Wendy Ide Screendaily	"[It] has a pair of fine lead actors. However they struggle with the lethargic pacing and the material’s somewhat maudlin approach to the past."
