Reception
Boyd van Hoeij of Variety deemed the film to be "a dud" and "a juiceless adaptation", with the script failing "to develop a dramatic undertow that ties the film's two incongruous halves together", "impeccable" period detail notwithstanding.[1]
Sergio F. Pinilla rated the film 3 out of 5 stars, underscoring it to be "a love triangle story without angles or enough punch".[7]
