---|---|---|---|
United States | The New York Times | "Moves with fluidity and ease through brisk opening conventions to a perfectly poised and balanced endgame." | POS |
United States | Los Angeles Times | "Carefully made, involving and old-fashioned, the superior work it's inspired gives it an impact that lingers even when the endgame is over" | POS |
United States | SFGATE | "When the film sticks with the eccentric comedy of a highborn woman attracted to a preoccupied genius, it works splendidly. When it strays into melodrama, it is as ill-equipped as Luzhin." | NEU |
United States | The Washington Post | "Where it succeeds best is not in describing how Luzhin got broken but how love fixed him, albeit temporarily." | POS |
