United States	Stephen Holden The New York Times	"Besides Ms. Linney’s excellent performance and Mr. Hopkins’s good one, the best things about the movie are its sensuous cinematography by Javier Aguirresarobe and a gorgeous soundtrack"	POS
United States	Tom Long Detroit News	"Slow, dull and wielding absolutely no emotional impact despite a fine cast"	NEG
United States	Colin Covert Minneapolis Star Tribune	"There's no dramatic mainspring to the story, but the civilized dialogue is refreshing, the South American locations are lovely and Jorge Drexler's score is rapturously romantic"	POS
