Dave Calhoun
Despite decent performances, a promising dramatic set-up leads to little of real interest.
Stephen Holden
The anguish of the lovers' decade-long separation can't be evoked in a matter of minutes ...
Elizabeth Weitzman
The actors are smoothly professional and the production feels polished. But it's hard to recommend a romance without passion, no matter how pretty it looks.
Aaron Hillis
The magnetism between these stiff nonstarters wouldn't stick to a fridge, especially when the war-ex-machina forces them apart for years but the only credible passing of time is our own.
Justin Chang
This awkward, passionless drama conveys neither the sensuality nor the drawn-out sense of longing required by its period tale of a young secretary who falls in love with his employer's wife.
Sara Mc
I want my money back This movie was the worst period film I've ever seen. NOTHING HAPPENS. OMG snoozefest. The worst. I'd like to be more articulate but just trust me and do not watch this film.
