"...Geoffrey Rush [plays] Sade as a gleeful voluptuary unfettered by either morality [or] sentimentality....Mr. Kaufman revels in the chaos....Ms. Winslet's shrewdness as an actress has never been better displayed than it is here..." New York Times - pp.E1-8 - Elvis Mitchell
"...Rush relishes his role....Winslet captures both the beauty and the spirit of the character..." Box Office - p.152 - Annlee Ellingson
"...[Rush] runs with it. It's a brave, take-no-prisoners performance....Winslet manages to instill nice complexity...as does Phoenix..." Hollywood Reporter - p.24 - Michael Rechtshaffen
