• Early critical reaction skews negative, with Forbes noting an initial Rotten Tomatoes critics score of about 19 percent.
• Reviewers consistently single out Keira Knightley’s lead performance as the film’s strongest element.
• Coverage emphasizes that the adaptation significantly changes the novel’s finale, steering the story toward a different on-screen resolution without detailing the twist.
