	Author	Review
United States	Janet Maslin The New York Times	"Yakin has cast this film so markedly against type that the actors seem to be discovering their characters even as they play them, and that gives the film a tension that might not have been might expected."	POS
United States	Roger Ebert rogerebert.com	"I was won over by Zellweger's ferociously strong performance, and by characters and scenes I hadn't seen before (…) Rating: ★★★ (out of 4)"	POS
United States	Paul Tatara CNN	"The movie may be a little cloudy in a lot of ways, but Zellweger shines through."	NEU
United Kingdom	Philip French The Guardian	"The film is as much concerned with ideas as with emotions, a mystical thread runs through it, and there are memorable performances"	POS
United States	Emanuel Levy Variety	"[Zellweger gives] an utterly convincing and captivating performance (...) [It] suffers from one-dimensional portraiture in the case of the male characters"	NEU
