	Media	Author	Review
		Cath Clarke The Guardian	"This is no better, and no worse, than two hours of particularly posh soap opera (…) Rating: ★★★ (out of 5)"
		Lee Marshall Screendaily	"Although there is some sophisticated writing here, and some enjoyable performances from the mostly British ensemble cast, Fiennes' attempt to do a kind of London Magnolia is over-ambitious and over-long."
		Time Out	"That the film which closed Cannes in 2005 is only now getting [2007] a release should be warning enough (…) Rating: ★ (out of 5)"
		William Thomas Empire	"Kristin Scott Thomas is marvellous but director Martha Fiennes fails to tie together all the remaining plot strands convincingly (…) Rating: ★★ (out of 5)"
		Anna Smith BBC	"Emotionally distant but rarely dull (...) A decent watch for fans of mature, dark drama (…) Rating: ★★★ (out of 5)"
