The exquisite teamwork and byplay make the film such a delight to watch.
July 20, 2010
Quality comedy with a sprinkling of romance, skilfully assembled by a director with a clear feel for the material. Performances are universally great and the dialogue, of course, is superb.
June 19, 2008
Smooth-flowing direction, a shrewdly pruned script and a top-flight ensemble cast that visibly relishes both the dialogue and one another's perfs make this a tony item for upscale, mature audiences.
August 07, 2008
All the other performances -- from Cate Blanchett, Minnie Driver, Julianne Moore, John Wood and Peter Vaughan -- are first rate.

Parker has made a sensible cinematic translation of Wilde's play, intercutting scenes which would have been played consecutively on the stage.
June 18, 2012
Parker's shuttlecock technique only succeeds in throwing Wilde's cascading rhythms seriously out of whack and makes it hard to attend to the language as fully as one would like.
March 02, 2011
The bright, crisp design, Wilde's arch eloquence and a classy company help to camouflage the shortcomings.
July 20, 2010
It's lavish, clever entertainment, a welcome opportunity to laugh without shame.
March 19, 2002
[I]t's likely that Mr. Wilde, who once wrote, 'A poet can survive anything but a misprint,' would have been less than thrilled with the result.
December 15, 2009
It's a pleasant diversion but sadly, little more than a chance to hear Rupert's barbed wit.
July 07, 2010
An enjoyable, minor, lustrously shot revamping of Oscar Wilde's play about the perpetually interlocked manners of love and deception.
February 14, 2001
Wilde was always about lots more than witty repartee, and as sparkling as his play is as drawing-room comedy, it reveals his concern with the timeless values of unselfish love and forgiveness.
