Its old-fashioned romanticism is heady, and the relationships among the characters are intriguing.

It has enough opulent, oversized romanticism to make it a guilty pleasure, not to mention three attractive and appealing characters and, of course, that song.
| Original Score: 3/4 | Dec 19, 2003
It's a stirring and provocative affirmation of the power and resilience of love.
| Original Score: B+ | Dec 11, 2003
Gloomy Sunday has a mood and a magic about it that elicit emotion from the beginning and make an audience follow it down its curving and melancholy path.
| Original Score: 3/4 | Dec 5, 2003
Oddly enough, the film itself is lushly engaging, even if it covers some of the same ground as The Pianist with less artistry and more melodrama.
| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Nov 14, 2003

It's a piquant story but unfortunately the movie creaks with European-style artifice.

There's a whiff of exploitation about any movie that claims the Holocaust as a 'backdrop,' and Rolf Schbel's treacly tale of three men lovesick for the same blue-eyed beauty fairly reeks of it.

An apocryphal, pretty, and somewhat pat biography of the title ballad.
| Nov 4, 2003
A nicely weepy melodrama.
| Original Score: 3/4 | Oct 10, 2003
