Top Critics' Reviews

Rotten: Everything flows from the film's fundamental lethargy -- a hero without a spine, a romance without joy and a crime with neither moral rebuke nor consequences. No surprise that the story, like the protagonist, floats along in a noodly sort of way. – Mick LaSalle, San Francisco Chronicle, Feb 10, 2007

Rotten: Breaking and Entering is about a kind of white privileged guilt and the apologies that come with it. Minghella gingerly backs away from provocation, from realism. – Wesley Morris, Boston Globe, Nov 24, 2011

Rotten: Though Binoche does very solid work, she can't sell the idea of her and Law as a couple; the chemistry isn't there. Not much else rings true in Minghella's screenplay, which is full of coincidences and speeches about race and class. – Lou Lumenick, New York Post, Jul 16, 2008

Rotten: Starts busily, and soon becomes a bafflement -- such an interesting cast, such technical excellence, so many intricate details and parallel plot threads, yet so little clarity or urgency. – Joe Morgenstern, Wall Street Journal, Jun 24, 2010
