| Original Score: 2/5 | Mar 7, 2005

It's heady stuff, though stretched too far for convenience.

Full Review | Original Score: C+ | Nov 24, 2004

Though Ifans has the splashier role, Craig, last seen in Michell's previous film, 2003's equally provocative The Mother, is outstanding as a man whose philosophy cannot be reconciled with his feelings.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Nov 24, 2004

An intelligent and gripping dramatic thriller, Enduring Love is a real rarity: a film better than the book it's adapted from.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Nov 23, 2004

A story that educates but never elucidates.

| Original Score: 2.5/5 | Nov 21, 2004

Full of hot air.

Full Review | Original Score: 2.5/5 | Nov 13, 2004

Penhall's screenplay captures the emotional isolation that grips people touched by cataclysm.

Full Review | Original Score: B | Nov 12, 2004

Compelling but uneven drama.

Full Review | Original Score: 2.5/4 | Nov 12, 2004

The movie's ace in the hole is Rhys Ifans, whose scraggly looks and ability to play daft make him perfect as the delusional Jed.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Nov 12, 2004

Does a fine job of slowly racheting up the psychological tension.

Full Review | Original Score: 3/4 | Nov 12, 2004

Enduring Love is better in parts than as a whole. Ultimately, the film has too many jagged edges.

| Original Score: C+ | Nov 11, 2004

Filmmaker Roger Michell doesn't so much adapt Ian McEwan's fine novel Enduring Love, a surgically precise anatomy of romance and obsession, as eviscerate it and wave its entrails before the audience.

Full Review | Original Score: 2/4 | Nov 11, 2004

This drama about love, catastrophe and obsession raises a lot of questions but leaves it to viewers to provide most of the answers.

| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Nov 11, 2004

It flutters around fitfully, still filled with air, then falls in a deflated heap in the corner.

| Nov 5, 2004

With a power that resonates, Enduring Love captures that sense of lives blown apart by a sudden gust.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Nov 5, 2004

Well-meaning, yet listless.

| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Nov 5, 2004

It walks the line between romantic piety and utter tastelessness, opting to be a cheap potboiler only after it's run out of ways to seem profound.

| Original Score: 2/4 | Nov 5, 2004

Most movies remain at the top level of action: They are about what happens. A few consider the meaning of what happened, and even fewer deal with the fact that we have a choice, some of the time, about what happens and what we do about it.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Nov 5, 2004

It's the best kind of movie: so alive in its storytelling that only in retrospect do you realize that the ideas represent a metaphysical inquiry.
