The MM - "Ian
Holm plays a dual role in the English production that proposes a
very interesting yet totally unbelievable theory about the last days
of France's most famous head of state. However, solid acting and an
intriguing plot can only carry a film so far. This movie hits
quicksand about half way through. A highly unlikely romance doesn't
help matters and the classic British rye wit creates some smiles yet
few laughs. For those interested in this era of history, this movie
may hold your attention and gain your affection but most will find
this drama less than a comfortable fit."
