Generally favorable reviews based on 6 Reviews

This deserves to be seen and cherished for at least a couple of reasons: first for Joanne Woodward's exquisitely multilayered and nuanced performance as India Bridge, a frustrated, well-to-do WASP Kansas City housewife and mother during the 30s and 40s; and second for screenwriter Ruth Prawer Jhabvala's retention of much of the episodic, short-chapter form of the books.

Jonathan Rosenbaum

Chicago Reader

The film is so well made and acted, because it captures its period so meticulously.

Roger Ebert

Chicago Sun-Times

It marks a new artistic peak for director James Ivory, producer Ismail Merchant, and writer Ruth Prawer Jhabvala.
