    Washington Post | Desson Thomson

    Has an intoxicating, old-fashioned feel about it. We are instantly lost in the period, thanks to cinematographer Dion Beebe's almost haloed images and Joseph Bennett's authentic, restrained production design. Read full review

    San Francisco Chronicle | Mick LaSalle

    Cate Blanchett has the title role, and she does wonders with it, bringing a degree of passion but also suggesting something essentially unevolved in Charlotte's character. Read full review

    USA Today | Claudia Puig

    Displays so much promise with its beautiful cinematography and superb portrayal by Cate Blanchett that you scarcely notice (or even care) that the story is a bit thin. Read full review

    Variety | Todd McCarthy

    A bland and dour screen version of Sebastian Faulks' highly engrossing bestseller. Read full review

    The New York Times | Stephen Holden

    The movie works so diligently to convey a spirit of heroic uplift and fails so completely that it feels like a tragic misfire. Read full review

    Rolling Stone | Peter Travers

    Director Gillian Armstrong turns Sebastian Faulks' pungent novel about World War II into a soporific. Read full review
