“The film luxuriates in the sun-kissed settings, languorous and largely devoid of conflict. Adapted by 89-year-old screenwriter James Ivory, it exhibits that specific brand of watchable, genteel restraint that made Merchant Ivory the arthouse Marvel Studios of the 1980s and ‘90s. It’s the kind of movie that discreetly pans to billowing curtains during a sex scene.” – WBUR’s The ARTery, 12/22/2017
