Critic Reviews

The events of the movie are filament-thin and insubstantial but, like fine silk threads, they weave together a fabric of surpassing warmth and texture. [25 Sep 1998, Pg.N.63]Full Review

The movie grows on you, lingers in the mind and may pick up a cult. Take away Heat and Dust, Howards End and The Remains of the Day, and it's as satisfying as any movie the filmmaking team's ever made. [18 Sep 1998, Pg.03.E]Full Review

The film's appeal is in the details. This is one of [Merchant-Ivory's] best films.Full Review

Roger Ebert
Chicago Sun-Times

Not only was I touched by the characters and engrossed by their story during the 120 minutes they were on screen, but I could have easily spent another hour or two with them.Full Review

Somehow, against considerable obstacles, it has captured something true about families and friendship, creating a texture of believable emotions on screen.Full Review
