Its appeal naturally will be to book-reading audiences who appreciate films with well-written dialogue, a tony cast, lush visuals and the triumph of civilized values.Full Review
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 ("Talk to Her," "Vicky Cristina Barcelona") and a gorgeous soundtrack.Full Review
