The pace slackens a little after the first hour, but the photography by Remi Adefarasin and music by Magnus Fiennes keep the emotion stoked.

Fiennes does this sort of inner pain thing exceedingly well, Tyler is beguiling and believable, and there is an edge of wit and grace to the proceedings.

Tatyana, the embodiment of a heroine whose still waters run deep, requires more maturity than Tyler as yet possesses.

A handsome, somewhat draggy and abrupt film that's more memorable in snippets than as a whole.

Despite Fiennes' splendid moodiness and Tyler's radiant vulnerability, despite lovely settings... this movie is dull.

Would have been a stronger movie if it didn't require a strong cup of coffee going in.
