The Golden Bowl Ratings & Reviews
Washington Post
Rita Kempley
It suffers mightily from its deliberate pacing, pale characterizations, obvious plot and some woeful miscasting.
San Francisco Chronicle
Edward Guthmann
Makes the viewer wish that Ivory had cast a more accomplished actress -- Kate Winslet, perhaps, or Cate Blanchett -- who could give dimension to the character and indicate subtext in a way that Thurman can't.
Detroit News
Susan Stark
coiled, nuanced, resonant tale.
Chicago Tribune
Mark Caro
Looks exquisite at first, upon closer inspection its flaws become all too apparent.
Washington Post
Desson Thomson
A victim of painfully drawn out excessiveness.
Atlanta Journal-Constitution
Eleanor Ringel Cater
May not be the best film to come from the Ismail Merchant/James Ivory team, but it's certainly one of the most beautiful.
Chicago Sun-Times
Roger Ebert
It kept me at arm's length, but that is where I am supposed to be; the characters are after all at arm's length from each other, and the tragedy of the story is implied but never spoken aloud.

'Golden Bowl' Cracked: Merchant/Ivory's Misstep with Henry James
Premiere Magazine
Glenn Kenny
One of James's juiciest scenarios, but barely anybody involved in this enterprise seems to have caught its groove.
Seattle Times
Pam Sitt
It is beautifully, dramatically and grandly long, tedious, boring and slow.
Houston Chronicle
Louis B. Parks
The Golden Bowl is a feast for those who love nuanced conversation, unspoken emotion and guarded looks.
Denver Post
Steven Rosen
Ivory has been away from period literary adaptations, backbone of the Merchant Ivory reputation, for some time. It's good to have him back, but Golden Bowl shows he needs to do some work to reacquire his golden touch.
Boston Globe
Jay Carr
On the whole, though, it's easy to think of this Golden Bowl as half full rather than half empty.
Dallas Morning News
Chris Vognar
A handsome production and a story well told.
Philadelphia Inquirer
Steven Rea
If not for its high-cult pedigree -- from a Henry James novel, adapted by the tony Merchant-Ivory team -- The Golden Bowl would seem the stuff of raging soap opera.
The New Republic
Stanley Kauffmann
The novel is inevitably stripped of its rich characterological garments and is left relatively naked as a clever plot -- in the basest sense 'theatrical.'
Newsday
John Anderson
Visually lovely, awkward, long-winded.
New York Post
Jonathan Foreman
Surprisingly gripping.
Los Angeles Times
Kevin Thomas
Yet another Merchant Ivory triumph, with impeccable performances and equally flawless, grand period settings.
