Entertainment Reviews:
Rating: 3.5/4 --
The hothouse atmosphere permeates every scene, creating an unhealthy climate in which young love is perverted, promises become lies, and jealousy is the strongest emotion.

Chicago Sun-Times
The film dies too, because we do not care about or understand Antoinette.

The Spectator
A poignant study of the war between the sexes

Spirituality and Practice
At its heart, Wide Sargasso Sea tells of the ruination of a marriage -- by the past, by the time, by the fears of a man and desperation of a woman. Yet Duigan also presents a searing vision of the effects of colonialism.

Hartford Courant
Lombard is weak in the central role. Although her character's mind is supposed to be at stake, it is hard to find much evidence of it behind her one-note performance.

Maclean's Magazine
It's a tale of oppression (of women and colonials), dream and reality, life and death and death-in- life, and a rattling love story.

Description by OLDIES.com:
Jamaica, 1840s. In the untold tale of the madwoman in the attic of Charlotte Brontë's Jane Eyre, Antoinette Cosway (Karina Lombard) falls madly in love with her newly arrived groom-to-be, Edward Rochester (Nathaniel Parker) -- and awakens sexually in a steamy world of erotic obsession, voodoo and madness. But when the untamed world of magic and sensuality lures Edward away from Antoinette, she resorts to powerful magic to win him back... a magic that comes with a heavy price that will haunt the two for the rest of their lives.
