| Toronto StarBruce DeMaraSthers demonstrates a sure hand throughout, in casting and plotting, delivering a compelling tale of love and betrayal. |
| Original CinJim SlotekDe Palma's aching Maria is all that lifts Madame to anything approaching watchable. As for mean-girl Collette, she may never have had a more unrewarding role. Her calibre of actress shouldn't settle for one dimension. |
| VarietyJessica Kiang"Madame" is less a baroque masterpiece than a subpar reproduction in a gaudy frame. |
