Reviews
... thanks equally to the restrained, yet inquisitive approach of director James Marsh, and the rich performance smarts of Firth, the movie's warning against making a choice that could prove impossible to live with is hauntingly, unforgettably worthwhile.Leigh Paatsch, Herald Sun (Australia)
In particular, Firth stands out enveloped in that aura of sad and nineteenth-century romanticism that has trailed him since he was Mr. Darcy in the 1995 version of Pride and Prejudice.Ruben Romero Santos, Cinemania
With her performance, [Rachel] Weisz shows to Clare to be much more than the doting wife: she's inventive, resourceful, and, unlike her husband, acutely aware of the reality of the situation.Joseph Walsh, CineVue
