What are critics saying?

Total Film by Jamie Graham

Handsomely shot but rather inert adap of mid-19th-century play A Month in the Country.

60

Los Angeles Times by Gary Goldstein

A handsomely mounted if largely melodramatic affair that gains steam as it gives way to truer emotions and bits of veiled humor.

The Guardian by Peter Bradshaw

It takes time to grow on you, but for me, there is a demure watchability.

50

The Hollywood Reporter by Clarence Tsui

While certainly lushly mounted, Two Women is at best a piece of dated heritage cinema, and at worst cliche-ridden pomp.
