    Depp and Winslet in particular are, as you might expect, immaculate. I don't think there's another actor alive who can convey the intermingling of gentleness and passion with as much precision as Depp.
  2. Gently seductive, genuinely tender and often moving without being maudlin.

    A rewarding piece of filmmaking that has all the makings of a classic weepie.

    It just doesn't have the buoyancy, or the resonance, that this kind of semifactual flight of fancy needs.
