Top Critics' Reviews
Rotten: a very strange and maddening movie, being a fascinating tale that's nowhere as provocative as it first promises to be and as the reputations of everyone connected with it might lead you to expect.
Rotten: didn't for one moment convince me that these were real people, acting from the bottom of their hearts.
Fresh: handsomely mounted period piece, but can't shake off a certain air of good manners
Rotten: The outcome is predictable, and the prospectively livelier second half never breaks free from the torpor of the prison scenes.
