Percolates with neurotic insecurity, painful deceit, busted opportunity, and pervasive regret, but the movie never capsizes under its own weight.

A well-acted but bloodless drama.

| Original Score: 2/4 | Aug 21, 2003

Terribly tragic, terribly romantic and, ultimately, terribly, terribly dull.

Its unwieldy structure, which pops back and forth between the 1930s and '40s, makes the movie choppy for no good reason.

| Jul 25, 2003

The film is a soapy melodrama set from about 1936 to 1946 and done with style.
