88Feels like an old-fashioned movie in the way it deals with bold sacrifices made in the name of love, while its setting and chary view of the era's political machinations mark it as distinctly modern.
-
80Takes the most somber of predicaments, and makes it involving, romantic and ultimately intensely suspenseful.
-
60Wargnier has assembled a stellar French and Russian cast, but all that talent can't overcome his heavy-handed screenplay.
-
60Packed with melodrama, and often it works in the passionate, easy-to-watch manner of an old-fashioned "woman's film."
