Despite its historical surrounding and a few stabs at thematic depth, Map of the Human Heart has all the flavor and plot complexity of a Harlequin romance.

Dreamy, romantic, and ultimately haunting. A rare movie that deserves to be called a true original.
07/25/02
As directed and co-written by Vincent Ward, this romantic drama tries to say something poignant about a doomed interracial love and the fateful nature of human encounters, but everything about it is excessive.
12/26/06
Succeeds admirably in showing us just how much love the heart can hold in the face of so many obstacles and so much pain.
07/12/03
A film of incantatory intensity and moment by a prodigiously gifted young filmmaker.

Visually stunning and emotionally powerful... a buried treasure.
