RogerEbert.com by Godfrey Cheshire
The kind of lush historical drama that Hollywood might have made in the 1930s but these days unsurprisingly owes its existence to foreign producers and, most especially, a renowned literary source.
The New York Times by Ken Jaworowski
Asif Kapadia, the director (whose film “Amy” won an Oscar for best documentary), has a fine eye for splendor, as does Gokhan Tiryaki, his cinematographer. Mr. Kapadia’s sense of pacing isn’t as acute.
Los Angeles Times by Robert Abele
There’s zero chemistry or feeling to this sweeping, predictable endeavor, only the scent of what might have been.
