One of the Year's Best!, 2 December 2000
Author: pied from Ohio

Radiant performance by Kristen Scott Thomas, excellent performances by Sean Penn (understated) Ann Bancroft and James Fox as well as the actor who plays the Austrian refugee--make this one of the year's most underrated and best films.

There are many nuances, plot twists, great dialogue, urbane situations to entertain and invoke thoughtful questions about love and marriage. Haus, the director who also made "Angels and Insects" knows how to present a superior piece of work.
