The Atlanta Journal-Constitution: C
"... wears its Oscar aspirations on its lushly brocaded sleeve. Nominations for production design and costumes would be deserved, but that's as far as it goes though one of the stars could eke out a nomination simply because, well, the movie's failure isn't their fault, really."
Austin American-Statesman: 3 of 5 stars
"Clearly what was important here was not authenticity but the illusion of it. Not transcendence, but entertainment just foreign enough to convince undemanding viewers they've been taken someplace new."
The Palm Beach Post: B+
"... a worthy film that feels like a throwback to an earlier era of movie-making."
