Top Critics' Reviews
Fresh: Winslet is the sort of actress who can rage at the heavens and reach for them at the same time.
Fresh: Original in every sense, this often difficult film about family, relationships, sexual politics, spiritual questing, faith and obsession further explores the director's abiding fascinations in excitingly unconventional terms.
Rotten: Filled with flashy sight gags, overwrought performances, and madly overlapping dialogue.
Rotten: This script -- to be kind -- is uneven at best and completely illogical at its worst.
