Critic Reviews

Lisa Schwarzbaum

A "Romeo and Juliet" tragedy of surprising power. Read full review

Edward Guthmann

Told so simply and powerfully that it seems to carry echoes of earlier, timeless tales. Read full review

Roger Ebert

With Solomon & Gaenor, it is hard to overlook the folly of the characters. Does it count as a tragedy when the characters get more or less what they were asking for? Read full review

Wesley Morris

The film is in the key of "Romeo and Juliet," and it's a one-note tune. Read full review

Sean Axmaker

Well-meaning portrait of intolerance concludes as grand tragic melodrama, executed with a stately beauty in somber colors. Read full review

Kimberley Jones

The landscape and the lovers are pretty to look at, but two households divided should really pack more of a punch. Read full review

Jessica Winter

Paul Morrison's relentlessly unsurprising staging of a "Romeo and Juliet" story fetishizes its accelerating tragedies with morbid solemnity. Read full review

Absolutely loved the movie. Unfortunately, had to watch it in Russian. But, I guess, it was actually a good thing, as I doubt I'd get the Welsh and the Yiddish :)
