Top Critics' Reviews

Fresh: Though the film's multiple strands strain to blend, they do give the protags' ill-fated romance a level of deeper, more involving meaning. – Deborah Young, Variety, Jul 7, 2010

Fresh: It's a corny and utterly implausible story in many ways -- but, like The Notebook, it's an implausible romance that connects with us because of the lush style and the power of the performances. – Michael Wilmington, Chicago Tribune, Jun 24, 2010

Rotten: This glossy veneer of artificiality, handled masterfully in the films of Douglas Sirk, Todd Haynes and Pedro Almodovar, doesn't feel classic here so much as cheesy. – Desson Thomson, Washington Post, Jul 16, 2008

Fresh: It's Italian, it's actually quite mesmerizing in the manner of '50s psychological melodrama held together by incredible coincidences, everyone in it is splendidly attractive, and when you get out, you will be thinking: 'I have to get a pie soon.' – Stephen Hunter, Washington Post, Jul 16, 2008
