Best two reviews:
1) The Playlist - It’s the kind of smoothly rounded, edgeless historical drama that’s built for maximum appeal, with a broad perspective and an easy to digest tone. Well-crafted and ably told, this is a film that’s wholly respectable though not particularly memorable, but still manages to connect with its earnest good intentions and desire to please.

Worst two reviews:
4) The Hollywood Reporter - Despite the estimable talent on hand both behind and in front of the camera, the story never comes to convincing life and doesn’t, in the end, have anywhere particularly surprising or interesting to go. (Rating: 50) Read Full Review >
5) IndieWire - The film suffers enormously from its slippery grasp of history, all of its narrative thrust slipping through the cracks between fact and fiction. (Rating: 42) Read Full Review >
