Robert Hanks Independent (UK) Clichd and contrived. Rated: 1/5 Dec 14, 2007 Full Review Tim Robey Daily Telegraph (UK) It's hard to get past an almost sadistic aloofness in the storytelling, and several of Fiennes's flapping plot strands wither on the vine. Dec 14, 2007 Full Review Nigel Andrews Financial Times One is unsure what the menu is meant to be in this satire/drama/melodrama. Dec 14, 2007 Full Review James Mottram Film4 Not quite the British Magnolia it wants to be, Chromophobia's melting pot plot is too often little more than overheated melodrama. But aided by Damian Lewis's strong turn, it still manages some unexpectedly poignant moments. Rated: 3/5 Dec 14, 2007 Full Review Neil Smith Total Film Given the implausible contrivances that link these disparate protagonists, though, it's hard to care much about any of them in a chilly drama whose sleek aesthetic masks a hollow soul. Rated: 2/5 Dec 13, 2007 Full Review Tim Evans Sky Cinema Chromophobia, incidentally, is an irrational fear of colour. Someting we could have done with a bit more of. Rated: 2/5 Dec 13, 2007 Full Review Read all reviews

Audience Member A melhor razão para vê-lo é Kristin Scott Thomas, absolutamente convincente como o frágil, mulher sociedade obcecada-status cuja extravagância não pode mascarar seu desespero, mas o diretor Martha Fiennes não consegue amarrar os demais muitos fios juntos. Ele se arrasta demasiado uma argumentação fragil demasiado lentamente para realmente encantar. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 02/13/23 Full Review Audience Member Long and cliched. But some good bits and THE cast. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 01/14/23 Full Review Audience Member Cast was perfect. Music and cinematography at really decent level. A really enjoyable piece of work. Especially Ben Chaplin, Damian Lewis and Penelope Cruz - brilliant work! Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 01/22/23 Full Review Audience Member Creative directing and good cinematography. The characters are believable and portrayed beautifully by the strong cast. And the soundtrack is just great. On the other hand I think the movie is too detailed for its run and it lacks a certain spark to make everything make sense! So it's only an alright movie though it had the potential to be a great one. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/12/23 Full Review Audience Member Ralph Fiennes, Ian Holm, Kristin Scott Thomas are involved Rated 2 out of 5 stars 02/14/23 Full Review Audience Member Poor rich people and their problems. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 02/06/23 Full Review Read all reviews
