"A movie whose ambitions I admire, but whose execution is lacking."

"Startling and seductive."

"Zings and smoulders in a way few stage productions of the play do."

"The update is all style and scattergun content."

"Thompson is marvelous in the role."

"It’s a formidable cinematic experience independent of its source."

"A stellar adaptation of a great play."

"More of a fun exercise in inventive adaptation than a fully-realised work."

"It’s more than an an adaptation, it’s a reclamation."

"Elegantly searing."

"A well-rounded cast, impeccable sense of pacing, and elaborate costume design."

"As a defiantly eccentric drama, it swoons where it should wound."

"It’s a big, bold swing that mostly connects."

"DaCosta has a great eye for offbeat compositions and a strong sense of formalism."

"An edgy, overheated interpretation."

"A compelling concept undone by its lacking execution."

"A delightful, sexy ride."

"One of the more original and thrilling adaptations of a classic work in recent memory."

"An impressive feat of technical film-making."
