A kitschy, lugubrious and deeply unhistorical exercise in self-congratulation.
05/06/08
Kidman and Law share almost no screen time together, which harms the film. Still, there are moments that are sufficiently ablaze, and make "Cold Mountain" a worthwhile diversion.
09/18/07
A movie of gorgeous moments alternating with many more that feel literate to the point of inducing boredom
08/20/06
If the love story is asked to carry more weight than it can bare, at least this is a film of rich measure and ambition.
06/24/06
Grim in places, and at times gratuitous, this is still terrific five-hanky drama with top-flight technical work, horrifically spectacular action, subtle introspection, rich characters and a love story to die for.
04/01/06
As he did with The English Patient, director Minghella performs a miraculous juggling act, balancing his epic, sweeping story with the subtleties of character and detail that make Cold Mountain breathe.
12/06/05
'Above all, Cold Mountain is a story of women -- abandoned, starving, and learning to rely only on themselves and each other.'
03/23/05
A tough movie to sit through but a powerful one nonetheless and whilst its not the great film that it so longs to be, it is a strong journey worth taking if your prepared for it.
03/14/05
There are intimations of a genuinely moving film; in its best moments, Cold Mountain is a fantasy that — like the Lord of the Rings movies — aspires to Shakespearean heights.
01/02/05
The scenes feel like dominoes -- they once stood in a progression with room to breathe between, but now they're down, overlapping each other, their potential energy stolen.
12/06/04
When the reel stops, the film will be remembered only as a muddled and tiresome misadventure.
