If this film were a meal, it would be like having your pudding first, and then having to chew through one hell of a lot of wet spinach.

Todd McCarthy
Variety
Stephen Daldry's film is sensitively realized and dramatically absorbing, but comes across as an essentially cerebral experience without gut impact.

If Winslet carries the complex psychological intrigue of the film on her shoulders, David Kross carries the heart of it on his.
