Just like Cameron's book, it is not an easy lecture. We must lend our undivided attention to each word and each whisper. [Full review in Spanish]

The City of Your Final Destination lives and dies on the force of its cast. Ivory has assembled a powerhouse, multigenerational group, aided and abetted by a setting with a distinctly theatrical feel.

... a delight for anyone who likes contemplative cinema, where many times, an image says more than a thousand words. [Full review in Spanish]

| Original Score: 3/5 | Mar 16, 2018

The performances feel honest, and are perfectly attuned to Ivory's sauntering directorial pace. No one is in a hurry to have any epiphanies or enjoy the release of emotional catharsis. I appreciated it.

Ivory without Merchant films a bloodless, dreary tale

| Original Score: 2.0 | Dec 24, 2010

Sometimes it's nice to just relax and listen to the deep soothing tones of Anthony Hopkins, even if what he's saying is absolute dribble.

| Original Score: 2.5/5 | Oct 22, 2010

It's of moderately passing interest this film, but that's all. I hope Ivory and Prawer Jhabvala find their feet with the next one.

Looks like a Merchant Ivory movie. Bores like a lesser one, too.

| Original Score: 2 | Oct 15, 2010

This is a very disappointing film. It lacks life, really.

This is a rather drab affair with a protagonist who seems to have had a personality bypass.

Full Review | Original Score: 2/5 | Oct 13, 2010

It's not an entirely boring film. After a while, your pulse rate slows and you settle into the landscape. The two-hour running time, however, puts you in acute danger of growing moss.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Oct 11, 2010

A rich and engaging film from one of cinema’s grand masters

With all the cinematic trademarks of a James Ivory film, this adaptation of Peter Cameron’s novel seduces us slowly, as we get to know the characters whose lives are intertwined for better and for worse

| Oct 9, 2010

"Destination" is another effort by director James Ivory in his long-running campaign to give arthouse audiences a comfortable place to take a nap.

| Original Score: 1.5/4 | Aug 26, 2010

Slow, dull and wielding absolutely no emotional impact despite a fine cast.

| Original Score: D | Aug 13, 2010

An aptly lush but below-the-numbers yarn

| Original Score: C | Aug 2, 2010

It's like Paul McCartney's songs after the split with John Lennon - there's some good stuff, but nothing classic.

| Original Score: 1/5 | Jul 29, 2010

This adaptation of the Peter Cameron novel is pretty dull, and the whole thing is so lacking in energy that it becomes a chore to watch.

| Original Score: 2/4 | Jul 22, 2010
