Movie Reviews

South Florida Sun-Sentinel - 9/10 by Enrique FernandezIs there such a thing as too much beauty, too much period elegance, too much good taste? The Golden Bowl seems to tip the scale.
SPLICEDWire - 9/10 by Rob BlackwelderNone of its minor shortcomings can take the viewer away from the talent with which this cast brings to Henry James' characters.
Philadelphia Inquirer - 9/10 by Steven ReaIf not for its high-cult pedigree -- from a Henry James novel, adapted by the tony Merchant-Ivory team -- The Golden Bowl would seem the stuff of raging soap opera.
Baseline.Hollywood.com - 9/10 by Ted MurphyThis roundelay of relationships makes up the heart of the film and allows each of the four principals to offer sterling performances.
Film Scouts - 8/10 by David SterrittThe result may not be one of Merchant Ivory's greatest successes, but it's a bold and bravura achievement all the same.
Charlotte Observer - 8/10 by Lawrence ToppmanHenry James' tangled, turgid prose always seems to me like a thicket of thorn trees -- so I should be grateful when somebody does the job for me on film. But I'm not - at least, in the case of The Golden Bowl.
Apollo Guide - 8/10 by Brian WebsterStarts slow, but gathers momentum as it proceeds toward a fascinating and just conclusion for all concerned.
Palo Alto Weekly - 8/10 by Jeanne AufmuthMerchant-Ivory know their way around a lush adaptation.
Atlanta Journal-Constitution - 8/10 by Eleanor Ringel CaterMay not be the best film to come from the Ismail Merchant/James Ivory team, but it's certainly one of the most beautiful.
Seattle Post-Intelligencer - 8/10 by Sean AxmakerThe restraint so magnificently applied in "The Remains of the Day" has simply fallen into disconnection.
