Don't waste your time. Kirsten Dunst once again ruined a potentially good movie.
Eh...Too melodramatic. It is fairly slow, as well. Kirsten Dunst has grown so much as an actor since then.
Kirsten Dunst in a seemingly endless, boring film based on two separate Russian stories.

This is a passable film, but Kirsten fans should love it. Kirsten is in top form, alternating between superiority, and approachability in her portrayal of a 19th century Russian princess from an impoverished family.
This one combines all my favorite Kirsten bits, accents, period dress, and intrigue. I give this one a solid Four Kirstens.
Good cinematography and costume styles were about all this movie had to offer.
