Boston Globe

Mackenzie's film could almost use one or two lurid touches in place of its stately distance. Then again, a more stylized approach might have allowed less room for Richardson, whose unsparing performance makes other elements almost irrelevant.Full Review

The Onion (A.V. Club)

It's an overwrought Gothic melodrama that has a nice first act before it descends into shameless absurdity.Full Review

Roger Ebert
Chicago Sun-Times

Overly plotted erotic drama.Full Review

Variety

McKellen's actions are queerly unpredictable (pun intended), but every plot other twist is portentously foreshadowed.Full Review
