[A] bold and brilliant rendering of Henry James' masterpiece.
A splendid adaptation that will be hard for the others to match. The Portrait of a Lady, directed by Jane Campion, brings intelligence and sensitivity to a story rich in psychological subtlety and sociological detail.
A literary adaptation of exceeding intelligence, beauty and concentrated artistry, but one that remains emotionally remote and perhaps unavoidably problematic dramatically.
In aiming for a new kind of lit-drama cool, Jane Campion freezes the warmth right out of Henry James' expansive heart.
Jane Campion makes a beeline for the repressed sexuality, and loses the nuance. [17 Jan 1997]
A harmeless concoction.
[An] unsatisfying mess.
