United Kingdom	Phelim O'Neill The Guardian	"The characters aren't particularly likable or clever, but their chemistry is convincing and it's well performed (…) Rating: ★★★ (out of 5)"	NEU

United States	Ray Bennett The Hollywood Reporter	"[Cumberbatch's] sensitive performance, in which he expresses more with his eyes than is in the script, does much to redeem an otherwise dreary exercise"	NEU
