      Michael Wilmington Chicago Tribune Marton tells this romantic and tragic story economically and imaginatively. Rated: 3/4 Mar 3, 2006 Full Review Frank Scheck Hollywood Reporter A fascinating historical tale is rendered with less than compelling results in this pseudo-documentary. Jan 5, 2006 Full Review Dana Stevens New York Times The director Elisabeth Márton uses a trove of letters and diaries to tell the story of Sabina Spielrein, an important figure in the earliest days of psychoanalysis. Rated: 2.5/5 Jan 3, 2006 Full Review Richard Propes TheIndependentCritic.com Merton's film seeks to restore Spielrein's place in history. Rated: 2.5/4.0 Sep 17, 2020 Full Review Ken Fox TV Guide Combining dramatic re-creations with readings from long-forgotten letters and journal entries, Elisabeth Marton's enlightening depiction of the life and tragic death of Sabina Spielrein has all the markings of a historical potboiler. Rated: 3.5/4 Jan 4, 2006 Full Review Read all reviews
