Sinekatalog’s take
David Hare's directorial debut follows an American doctor in London who falls for a charming European with a secret. Blair Brown and Bruno Ganz are good in a talky, intelligent but cool romance that never quite ignites.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
