Critics' reviews

"[It] is a film where things just keep happening, at a relentless pace, and no matter how incredible, fantastical or banal, they’re barely remarked upon by the characters, all of whom seem to be running around in circles."

Katie Walsh: Los Angeles Times
"Puerile and plodding"

Natalia Winkelman: The New York Times
"This historical fantasy adventure makes everything all the more enticing with gorgeous production design, costumes, and cinematography (…) Rating: ★★★ (out of 5)"

Tara McNamara: Common Sense Media
"Clumsy effects sink long-delayed historical fantasy. The film provides no space to explore its relationships, and as a result there’s little friction to the climax (…) Rating: ★ (out of 4)"

Steven Scaife: Slant
"Everything in the movie is just a little better than the tumultuous production would lead you to believe, from the chemistry between Scodelario and Walker (...) to the cast’s performances (…) Rating: ★★★ (out of 5)"

Matthew Monagle: Austin Chronicle
"A movie much more fun to research and describe than to actually watch"

Charles Bramesco: AV Club
"[It] fails in part because of the thinness of what’s on-screen but there’s also a sense that the ideas picked through so haphazardly could have been harvested for a much better, more fulfilling experience (…) Rating: ★★ (out of 4)"

James Berardinelli: ReelViews
