Synopsis
In the opulent St. Petersburg of the Empire period, Eugene Onegin is a jaded but dashing aristocrat – a man often lacking in empathy, who suffers from restlessness, melancholy and, finally, regret. Through his best friend Lensky, Onegin is introduced to the young Tatiana. A passionate and virtuous girl, she soon falls hopelessly under the spell of the aloof newcomer and professes her love for him

Recommandations

Los Angeles Times
A pleasure in all ways. - 90
Chicago Reader
Few things are more enthralling than unrequited love, as demonstrated by this drama. - 75
New York Post
The pace slackens a little after the first hour, but the photography by Remi Adefarasin and music by Magnus Fiennes keep the emotion stoked. - 75
Philadelphia Inquirer
Fiennes does this sort of inner pain thing exceedingly well, Tyler is beguiling and believable, and there is an edge of wit and grace to the proceedings. - 67
Entertainment Weekly
Tatyana, the embodiment of a heroine whose still waters run deep, requires more maturity than Tyler as yet possesses. - 67
Portland Oregonian
A handsome, somewhat draggy and abrupt film that's more memorable in snippets than as a whole. - 63
Chicago Tribune
Despite Fiennes' splendid moodiness and Tyler's radiant vulnerability, despite lovely settings... this movie is dull. - 60
Film.com
(Tyler's) voice is still mall American, and Onegin's rejection of her is nowhere near as puzzling or as tragic as it's supposed to be.
