A powerful piece of filmmaking. Gere and Foster are as immaculate as always.

Hobbled with a meandering script, an erratic performance by Richard Gere, and an overbearing score by Danny Elfman.

Lacks whatever magical ingredient there is that makes a film a moving experience and instead settles for being an adequate but not a remarkable achievement.

The story idea is an interesting one, but it doesn't quite pan out in the end. There are too many unanswered questions and unresolved conflicts.

It's really an old-fashioned hankie-soaker with Gere and Foster ably jerking tears. An odd yet convincing couple, they won't replace Rhett and Scarlet, and frankly, my dears, who can? But belles wring and bosoms heave in a manner most pleasing.

If you're looking for a picturesque romance -- with a little intrigue on the side -- you could do worse than Sommersby.

Though there is a near vaccuum at the center of the film, Sommersby is never boring, largely because of Ms. Foster's beautifully self-possessed presence.

From start to finish, it is a well-crafted film: part love story, part mystery, and all drama.

A square peg pounded into a round hole -- or, more exactly, a medieval European story that has been unsuccessfully updated to the period of the American Civil War.
