Critic Reviews:

• “A passable, pretty period time filler for the undemanding…The film has been politically corrected to within an inch of its life.” – 3AW

• “There are some terrific exchanges between Nicole Kidman and Colin Farrell who both deliver strong performances.” – ABC Radio Brisbane

• “If you're unfamiliar with the original, this tasteful and undeniably beautiful film may well beguile you.” – The Australian
