Curtis Morgan

Remains a remarkable, almost timeless study.

It is a riveting and memorable performance and Kingsley finds subtlety in Logan where there doesn't seem to be any.

Never shies from acknowledging the natural fascination with their abnormalities.

Rising above simple sentiment to explore class differences and the enduring clash between East and West with wit and wisdom.

Director Arnaud Desplechin follows his characters on a languid excursion that is circular and, ultimately, probably pointless (which may itself be the point) -- but the trip is also funny, weepy and charming. Like Paul's life, the movie feels messy but beguiling, jumping from past to present, parading about so many look-alike long-legged, haunting women that it's hard to keep track of who's sleeping with whom. [24 April 1998, p.9G]

The latest and loosest -- in the saucy sense of the word as well -- adaptation of (Austen's) sly comedies of uppercrust manners.

Sad confusions and emotional disconnections are what the story is all about.

Grim, tight and well acted.

A charming confection spun from pure whimsy.

The characters are easy to overplay, but the ensemble keeps its feet on the ground.
