"Awash in heart-rending emotions and gorgeous images, this is a movie to lose yourself in."
— Desson Thomson, Washington Post
"It feels like a dream that a movie could have this kind of poetic grace and epic sweep, or could be so faithful to its source and still work so perfectly as a film."
— Sean Means, Film.com
"Rising to crescendos of emotion usually reached only by tenors and sopranos, these characters are the beneficiaries of the luminous writing of the novel and screenplay as well as the expert performances of the actors, especially Scott Thomas."
— Kenneth Turan, Los Angeles Times
"Heartbreakingly beautiful film, a brilliant adaptation of Michael Ondaatje's equally beautiful novel, is a sort of Casablanca for our time."
— John Krewson, The A.V. Club
"A tour de force so haunting that other films can't exorcise the memory of its radiant cast, exquisite craftsmanship or complex system of metaphors. This, ladies and gentlemen, is a movie."
— Rita Kempley, Washington Post
"Minghella shapes Ondaatje's sprawling story into something miraculously cohesive, and at the movie's center is one of the most compelling love stories in recent memory."
— Mary Brennan, Film.com
"This is one of the year's most unabashed and powerful love stories, using flawless performances, intelligent dialogue, crisp camera work, and loaded glances to attain a level of eroticism and emotional connection that many similar films miss."
— James Berardinelli, James Berardinelli
