DUELING CRITICS

"[James] Ivory's direction is so polished and smooth and full of smart observations...Rich with texture but short on pronouncement, Ivory brilliantly captures the intricacies and cultural nuances that escape most filmmakers"

- Edward Guthmann

"Pretty weak tea, a thin and unsatisfying concoction that somehow manages to make one of the richest and most durable sources of culture-clash comedy into an occasion for dullness"

- A.O. Scott
