Entertainment Reviews:
Rating: 3/4 --
Jennifer Jason Leigh shows a surprising flair for modest, introspective moods in Agnieszka Holland's deftly directed adaptation of Henry James's quietly compassionate novel.

Christian Science Monitor
Rating: 3/4 --
Henry James saw more humor in the story than Holland does (although Aunt Lavinia remains comic), but what they both understand is that in a family such as this, everything depends on the money -- unless nothing does.

Chicago Sun-Times
...[A] lively adaptation....[Holland] liberates her camera with a swinging freedom of movement...
Entertainment Weekly
...Jennifer Jason Leigh often plays women of brassy boldness. What is remarkable is how she can play a recessive character such as Catherine so that every assertion seems like an act of courage...
Chicago Sun-Times
Registers strongly on the emotions as a poignant and powerful meditation upon loss.

Not even the usually twinkle-eyed Maggie Smith, here playing Catherine's aunt, can buoy the material.

Combustible Celluloid
If you are going to have an appealing Townsend you may as well have a distinctive Catherine. When they are sitting side by side playing piano duets, or kissing passionately in the parlor while the doctor is out, they make believable lovers.

Product Description:
Henry James's biting novel WASHINGTON SQUARE is given a lush adaptation from acclaimed director Agnieszka Holland (EUROPA EUROPA), buoyed by sharp performances from its cast. The story concerns Austin Sloper (Albert Finney), a wealthy, widowed doctor who is unable to hide his disdain for his plain, shrinking violet daughter, Catherine (Jennifer Jason Leigh). When Morris Townsend (Ben Chaplin) enters her life--a charming, but penniless, suitor--Austin's lack of faith in his daughter's ability to charm convinces him that Morris's intentions are only mercenary. Catherine doesn't take kindly to her stern father's restrictions and continues the relationship, assisted by her romantically inclined dowager aunt, Lavinia Penniman (Maggie Smith).
With WASHINGTON SQUARE, Holland adds another cinematic genre, American period drama, to her impressive resume. Working with production designer Allan Starski and costume designer Anna Sheppard, Holland recreates Victorian-era New York City with a visual beauty that belies the film's sharp dramatic edge. Featuring standout performances by an all-star cast (notably Leigh, Finney, Chaplin, and Smith), WASHINGTON SQUARE is a memorable work from the versatile director.
