Reception

Helen T. Verongos of The New York Times gave the film a negative review and wrote, "The pacing is uneven, and the movie feels slow in spots and too long overall, even though it lacks detail that would have enriched it." [2]

Sheri Linden of The Hollywood Reporter also gave the film a negative review and wrote, "...director Markus Rupprecht and his co-writer, Donna Logan, never get beyond the handsome period surface to an involving emotional core." [1]

Gary Goldstein of the Los Angeles Times also gave the film a negative review and wrote, "In the same way that not every novel should be made into a movie, not every true-life story warrants the big-screen treatment." [3]
