"The movie isn't just unpretentious; it's garishly, thrillingly vulgar."

Entertainment Weekly
Entertainment Weekly"Overwrought and overly facile look at accounts payable in the afterlife."
—
The Washington Post
The Washington Post"I am a particular pushover for movies like this, movies that could go on the same list with Rebecca, Wuthering Heights or Vertigo."
—
Roger Ebert
Roger Ebert"A big, convoluted, entertainingly dizzy romantic mystery melodrama. It's also another coup de cinema for Mr. Branagh."
—
The New York Times
The New York Times"Sloppily constructed and cut, riddled with clichés and cant..."
—
Time Out
Time Out"Logic is dull and all that jazz. What isn't dull, though, is the way Branagh as a director attacks this material."
