As much as director Jane Campion claims to love Henry James' 1881 novel Portrait of a Lady, her movie of it is Jane Eyre all over again, a romantic horror story.

San Francisco Examiner
This is a film that appeals to the head far more than to the heart, making for a portrait that seems somewhat less than complete.

Variety
Director Jane Campion not only alludes to the contemporary resonance of this hundred-year-old tale, but with this bold stamp she lays claim to the story that follows as wholly her own.

Washington Post
Portrait feels like an elegant party, full of attractive people, beautiful finery and tremendous music (from Wojiech Kilar), yet no excitement. And no matter how many times you revisit the place, it never gets better.

Washington Post
The director has a brilliant eye. But she fails to get behind the eyes of her heroine.

Maclean's Magazine
This claustrophobic Portrait of a Lady is the kind of failure only a very gifted filmmaker could make: like it or not, it haunts you.

Newsweek
Jane Campion and screenwriter Laura Jones have... produced an adaptation as cinematically intelligent as it is faithful to the original.

Description by OLDIES.com:
Isabel Archer (Nicole Kidman) is a young woman of daring independence and equally fierce desires. Her head-strong innocence is no match, however, for the manipulations of her duplicitous friend Madame Merle (Barbara Hershey) and the devious Gilbert Osmond (John Malkovich).
