[An] exquisite and anguished adaptation...

| Nov 21, 2022

A very worthwhile adaptation of Wharton's novel.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Dec 28, 2010

Besides his remarkable ability to render a profound sense of past in all his films, Davies can uncannily map out the emotions of his characters via his mise-en-scene.

| Original Score: 4/4 | Aug 1, 2003

| Original Score: 3/4 | Mar 22, 2002

Davies breathes fresh air through the wax museum corridors of the costume drama by finding behind all that stiff-spined pomp and circumstance the most venal of impulses.

Both literate and literary, it is serious without being humorless.

I can't recall another movie that cries out so incessantly for running commentary.

Plays more like Scenes From Edith Wharton's Novel than a dramatically involving adaptation.

With first-rate performances and sumptuous period detail, this is a very worthwhile adaptation of Wharton's novel.

A tale of the past that speaks directly to the present.

Mr. Davies' stylish adaptation should certainly please Ms. Wharton's fans.

A beautiful, elegantly tasteful film about the utter and complete devastation of a human being.

| Jan 26, 2001

A fine film that largely respects the literary classic it springs from -- and makes you want to read it, or re-read it.

Anderson gives a tour de force as a woman who's at the end of her rope without knowing how she got there.

| Original Score: 4.5/5 | Jan 19, 2001

Anderson ... gives a performance as compelling and impressive as anything we've seen all year.

Those who know Anderson only from 온라인카지노추천's X-Files will find this performance a revelation.
