Movie Reviews

St. Paul Pioneer Press - 9/10 by Chris HewittThe psychology is muddled, the badinage is bad and the acting is inadequate.
St. Paul Pioneer Press - 9/10 by Chris Hewitt (St. Paul)The psychology is muddled, the badinage is bad and the acting is inadequate.
Charlotte Observer - 9/10 by Lawrence ToppmanThe kind of movie made bearable only by uttering snide comments to a friend.
EmanuelLevy.Com - 8/10 by Emanuel LevyMuch of the dramatic juice and intrigue have been drained out of this old-fashioned costume drama, that in the hands of director Charles Shyer and actress Hilary Swank becomes stiff, stuffy, and banal affair.
New Times (L.A.) - 7/10 by Gregory WeinkaufIt's beautiful and obvious, a dubious combination that may nonetheless ensure its success.
Los Angeles Times - 7/10 by Kevin ThomasShyer and Sweet bring consistent clarity and ever-increasing depth to the playing out of Jeanne's bold scheming and single-minded resolve; a tone of brisk wit gives way effortlessly to poignancy and ultimately tragedy.
Time - 7/10 by Richard SchickelThe affair may have raised eyebrows all over 18th century Paris, but it's not likely to elicit more than a shrug from 21st century moviegoers.
Film Journal International - 7/10 by Harry HaunBoth Swank and Shyer sink without a trace into the fog of the story trying to be told.
Seattle Post-Intelligencer - 6/10 by William ArnoldThe affair of the necklace itself is so complex and many-sided that it would take a Sidney Lumet to do justice to it on film.
Greenwich Village Gazette - 6/10 by Eric LurioThe performances are really good, and if you're into clothes, this is fascinating, but the film itself is pretty much a bore.
