Jessica Kiang Variety 10h
All of the film’s many assets come back to rest on Okonedo, and on those moments between the big moments, when she stares with unfocused eyes out of a window, or takes a breath during which she arranges a face with which to face the world. Go to Full Review Ed Potton The Times (UK) 1d
3/5
There are lots of silences, some meaningful, some rather boring, but the most intriguing scenes are the ones that divert from the novel. Go to Full Review Carlos Aguilar The Playlist 1d

8/10
