Philip Kaufman's erotic chronicle of Henry Miller in Paris, the first movie to get NC-17, is disappointingly long and uneventful, though nice to look at.

A bawdy and joyous celebration of sensuality. A great cinematic tip of the hat to the "happiest man alive."

A big shame.

Beautiful, but more than a little overwrought.

Capital Times (Madison, WI)

A lush biopic unafraid of deep thoughts and sexuality.

too long, too talky and yet strangely intriguing

Although Fred Ward would not be most people's idea of the sexiest leading man, this tale based on the works of Anais Nin is far steamier than most of the cornball soft-core porn that passes for erotica these days, and the literary subplot makes an interesting period backdrop.

It is interesting watching a movie in 2009 made with a 1990?s take on a story that take place in the 1940?s. The pitch for the story is that it is an intellectual story with steamy romance, but to me it still comes off as soft core porn with an interesting plot. I have to say that I have never finished reading either
