Critic Reviews

Lou Lumenick

Risks trivializing history and pandering to feminist fantasies, but it may be the year's most fearless movie.

Jay Carr

The pieces don't always fit together smoothly, but there's a lot of flavorful work to savor. Read full review

TNT RoughCut Sjohnna McCray

Banderas has taken a brilliant novel and made a small movie with lots of bright moments, and honestly, that's quite an accomplishment for his debut.

Roger Ebert

An ungainly fit of three stories that have no business being shoehorned into the same movie. Read full review

Jami Bernard

Mismatch of tone and material. Read full review

Nicole Campos

The two disparate yet thematically linked storylines are far too faithfully transposed for a feature-length treatment -- crammed together, they're denied the space to flesh out as a cohesive whole. Read full review

Mark Caro

Although Banderas occasionally shows flashes of style, individual elements too often go together like grits in a puff pastry. Read full review
