There's a clumsy, soapy tepidness to the procession of plot points, but within individual scenes, the actors pierce the genteel surface.

The premise... demands more heat and complexity than this hokey 2016 drama provides.

The actors are so good that it doesn't even seem awkward when the film gives us a romantic angle between Nicholson's Sophie and the Japanese visitor.

The gently nostalgic mood and sleepy pacing effectively erase the movie's necessary edge.

Sophie and the Rising Sun is a movie caught halfway between wartime homeland drama and interracial romance, and not particularly satisfying as either.

A WWII forbidden love romance that is unsurprising in the extreme, but made with more care than the material warranted.

An eloquent, and both captivating and terrifying story playing out on the eve of the US entry into WW II, the film connects the Jim Crow South, and racism against Japanese Americans. And women bonding together in crisis for better - and often much worse.

Warm, heartfelt but decidedly wan.
