Yet another Merchant Ivory triumph.Full Review

Kevin Thomas
Los Angeles Times

The team's (Merchant-Ivory) best adaptation yet of a Henry James novel.Full Review

Joe Morgenstern
Wall Street Journal

If this handsome, faithful, intelligent screen adaptation of the novel doesn't leave you devastated, its ominous sense of a rarefied moral and aesthetic world bending before the accelerating streetcar of history will leave you with a mournful sense of loss.Full Review

Stephen Holden
The New York Times

What Merchant, Ivory and Co. arrive at is a sort of handsomely illustrated Cliffs Notes version of the novel.Full Review

Jay Carr
Boston Globe

I admired this movie. It kept me at arm's length, but that is where I am supposed to be; the characters are after all at arm's length from each other, and the tragedy of the story is implied but never spoken aloud.Full Review
