A pleasure in all ways.

Few things are more enthralling than unrequited love, as demonstrated by this drama.

A deliciously romantic story, in all senses of the word.

Handsome, well-acted, richly textured adaptation of Alexander Pushkin's novel.

A riveting, unsentimental tragedy of unrequited love.

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

Hot-blooded.

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.

(Fiennes's) Onegin is clueless to anything other than the sensual world, and is finally more repellent than sympathetic.

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.

There is a cool, mannered elegance to the picture that I like, but it's dead at its center.

A confident and promising directorial debut, one that has the feel of an experienced director to it, from the hypnotic unfolding of scenes to the finely observed character details.
