Critical Consensus
Critics Reviews Average Grade:   N/A   
culturevulture.net,
"... an unfortunate miss; the total equals considerably less than the sum of its admirable parts." Full Review...
Film Journal International,
"...a visually stunning, well-acted film..." Full Review...
Flick Filosopher,
"Imagine 'Romeo And Juliet' without the chipper bounce..." Full Review...
PopMatters: Tragedy and Circumstance,
"As much as it's being touted as a Welsh 'Romeo and Juliet,' 'Solomon & Gaenor' never quite reaches the level of urgency — wanting-to-die-rather-than-live-without-your-lover — of the Bard's beloved tragedy." Full Review...
