Roman Sampson One of the most extraordinary films you will see this year. Take that as you want.

Derrick Gibbons An old-fashioned movie made with new-fashioned finesse.

Zandra The movie turns out to be a little better than the average. Starting from a romantic formula often seen in the cinema, it ends in the most predictable (and somewhat bland) way.

Fleur Actress is magnificent and exudes a hypnotic screen presence in this affecting drama.
