Reaction: A nice solid performance from a genre that doesn't usually make a lot of money. Hopefully this is a sign that the box office is starting to turn around. We have now released three profitable films in a row.

"I am having a hard time figuring out who is miscast more: Kenneth Branagh or Hailee Steinfeld. Branagh appears to be having a blast as the big-nosed lead, but he feels at least a decade too old for the role - at least given the supporting cast around him. Meanwhile, Steinfeld seems lost. She struggles with the accent and looks way too young for the role, or at least way too young opposite Branagh." - Richard Park, Globe and Mail

"Kenneth Branagh truly excels at playing quirky characters in period pieces. He feels right at home as Bergerac, even if he looks a little long in the tooth." - Lisa Winger, Newsday

"The scenes of Steinfeld and Chalamet's characters derail the fun of the scenes with Branagh, Tucci, Law, really any character other than the two young romantic leads. They all bring their A-game to the film, making up for the younger cast's struggles." - Janet Donnelly, Empire Magazine
