"One of the most powerful romances of recent years" | ||
|
|
|
"It is a film of uncommon intelligence and rigor that illuminates a complex era, and the romance at its center is also one of exceptional passion and honesty." | ||
|
|

"It's too fragmented and diffuse to ever bring its parts together in any really satisfying manner." |
