Dave Kehr Chicago Reader Mar 23, 2011
It's just about as awful as you'd expect, despite the presence of two first-class screenwriter. Go to Full Review
Variety Staff Variety Mar 26, 2009
Under director Daniel Mann's guidance it is an extremely sexy and intimate film, but the intimacy is only skin deep, the sex only a dominating behavior pattern. Go to Full Review
Geoff Andrew Time Out Jun 24, 2006
Once thought of as racy and adventurous in its treatment of sex, this turgid nonsense about a high-class whore with love in her heart has dated atrociously. Go to Full Review

Elizabeth Taylor's Oscar-winning performance as an up-market whore with a heart is the chief, if not only, interest of this otherwise weak and dated drama. Go to Full Review

Anakin M Feb 25, 2019 Elizabeth Taylor in her prime screaming at people. That gets full marks from me.
Kylo G Mar 25, 2018 When viewed today it's a work of considerable dreck, it's badly dated and unappealing.
Hermione S Mar 16, 2018 Moments of great acting and a few great shots in adequate settings just don't quite make this film work on all levels. Such a shame. Lawrence inhabits his character nearly flawlessly. See more
Luke S Nov 4, 2017 Basically, a less charming "Breakfast at Tiffany's"
