| Sydney Morning HeraldPaul ByrnesIt's an admirably restrained film, even in the violence. Don't misunderstand: things get very rough, but not in every scene, and not until necessary. |
| Video-Reviewmaster.comSteve CrumOriginal, interesting story and good performances. |
| Goatdog's MoviesMichael W. Phillips, Jr.Like the Pre-Raphaelite art it evokes, it's pretty to look at, but there's not much there. |

| User Reviewwill dIt is just incredible... what more do you want from a film? Fall in love with it all ...'Le choléra m'évite comme la peste.' |
| User ReviewJames ERappaneau's follow up to Cyrano De begerac is another sumptuous and exciting swashbuckler, with a fine cast and script. Excellent. |
