United States	Desson Thomson The Washington Post	"A visually impressive production (...) It's enough of a spectacle to enjoy. It's too bad the stars are little more than serviceable and give the movie title an irony it could certainly do without."	NEU
United States	Roger Ebert rogerebert.com	"By the end of the film, you admire the artistry and the care, you know that the actors worked hard (…) Rating: ★★★ (out of 4)"	POS
United States	Richard Corliss Time	"A grand and poignant movie epic about what is lost in war and what's worth saving in life. It is also a rare blend of purity and maturity — the year's most rapturous love story."	POS
United States	Wesley Morris Boston Globe	"It's grandly moving, blatantly erotic, and kind of cheesy. It's also voluptuous and valiant Hollywood moviemaking."	POS
United States	Peter Travers Rolling Stone	"The specter of war haunts 'Cold Mountain', but you remember it for the heat of its romantic yearning and the mysteries that wrap themselves around you until you're lost in another world (…) Rating: ★★★½ (out of 4)"	POS
United States	A. O. Scott The New York Times	"The result is a mountain of honest, nourishing corn, a lavish evocation of simplicity that, for all its showy sophistication, has an appealing emotional directness"	POS
United Kingdom	Peter Bradshaw The Guardian	"Good-looking but dull (...) Law and Kidman make a handsome couple, but there aren't many sparks flying between them."	NEU
United States	Todd McCarthy Variety	"A grim picaresque odyssey across a beautiful scarred landscape laced together by private romantic longing. Handsomely made and vividly acted"	POS
