Entertainment Reviews:
Portrait feels like an elegant party, full of attractive people, beautiful finery and tremendous music (from Wojiech Kilar), yet no excitement. And no matter how many times you revisit the place, it never gets better.

Washington Post
Ten years on, the drama is still too slow but the film is far more watchable in the comfort of one's home with the pause button at the ready.

The Age (Australia)
...[Told] with spareness, strength and precision....Kidman is the picture of clarity, purpose and single-minded intelligence....THE PORTRAIT OF A LADY is impressive...
Los Angeles Times
...A literary adaptation of exceeding intelligence, beauty and concentrated artistry....Campion presents the story in a dark, lush, mysterious manner...
Variety
Jane Campion and screenwriter Laura Jones have... produced an adaptation as cinematically intelligent as it is faithful to the original.

...Hershey rises to her juicy role....[Donovan] gives a really great performance...
Entertainment Weekly
The director has a brilliant eye. But she fails to get behind the eyes of her heroine.

Product Description:
Nicole Kidman stars in this dark, elaborate adaptation of Henry James's novel, director Jane Campion's follow-up to THE PIANO. American Isabel Archer (Kidman) visits her wealthy relatives in 1872 England, where she turns down an offer of marriage by a kind and rich suitor (Richard E. Grant) in order to see the world and experience life. Her consumptive cousin (Martin Donovan) is secretly in love with her and arranges that she inherit a fortune so she can fulfill this desire, but she lets herself be seduced into marriage by a manipulative, egotistical aesthete named Osmond (John Malkovich). As Osmond works to subjugate her, it's up to Isabel to see the truth and earn back her dying cousin's faith. The stellar cast includes Viggo Mortenson, Mary-Louise Parker, Shelley Winters, Christian Bale, Shelley Duvall, Valentina Cervi as Osmond's beautiful, dominated daughter, and, best of all, Barbara Hershey as Madame Servena, Isabel's scheming friend. The moving, nuanced performances are complemented and at times even eclipsed by Janet Patterson's ethereal costume designs, the decadently dark color schemes, and Campion's graceful camera movements.
