It's beautiful, typically French, and a bore.

In between all the emotional seesawing, it's hard to figure the depth of these two literary figures, and even the times in which they lived. But they fascinate in their recklessness.

Is this love or is it masochism? Binoche makes it interesting trying to find out.

| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Mar 27, 2003

Benefits not only from Filac's cinematography but also from the two leads, whose chemistry is immediately apparent.

| Feb 14, 2003

A bit of a downer and a little over-dramatic at times, but this is a beautiful film for people who like their romances to have that French realism.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Feb 14, 2003

The emotion is impressively true for being so hot-blooded, and both leads are up to the task.

| Original Score: B | Feb 13, 2003

While the production details are lavish, film has little insight into the historical period and its artists, particularly in how Sand developed a notorious reputation.

| Original Score: 2.5/5 | Dec 23, 2002

Binoche and Magimel are perfect in these roles.

| Dec 16, 2002

Aggravating and tedious.

| Original Score: 1/4 | Dec 13, 2002

The film's appeal has a lot to do with the casting of Juliette Binoche as Sand, who brings to the role her pale, dark beauty and characteristic warmth.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Dec 13, 2002

The art direction and costumes are gorgeous and finely detailed, and Kurys' direction is clever and insightful.

Befuddled in its characterizations as it begins to seem as long as the two year affair which is its subject

Full Review | Nov 25, 2002

Plays like a volatile and overlong W magazine fashion spread.

It's technically sumptuous but also almost wildly alive.
