[Dennis] is excellent, though the movie goes sour anyway.
Top CriticOverdone adaptation of DH Lawrence's novella, making explicit everything that was implicit.
Top CriticA quiet, powerful masterpiece.
A beautifully photographed, dramatically uneven Canadian-made film.
A good and interesting movie.
Good performance by Heywood.
