Chicago Reader
Chicago Reader"The main flaws... are a lurching narrative coupled with dialogue awkwardness, and a blase approach to Bell's motivations."

The Washington Post
The Washington Post"Nicole Kidman... supplies a gravitas and emotional complexity worthy of the woman she plays."

Chicago Sun-Times
Chicago Sun-Times"A work that not only references the historical setting and panoramic desert compositions of David Lean's Lawrence of Arabia, but the refined desire and period elegance of the Merchant Ivory canon."
