As directed and co-written by Vincent Ward, this romantic drama tries to say something poignant about a doomed interracial love and the fateful nature of human encounters, but everything about it is excessive.

Succeeds admirably in showing us just how much love the heart can hold in the face of so many obstacles and so much pain.

Dreamy, romantic, and ultimately haunting. A rare movie that deserves to be called a true original.

The love story (which features Jason Scott Lee and Anne Parillaud) that means to add pathos to this cultural collision doesn't generate enough heat. But the theme tantalizes, and many of the images soar.

A film of incantatory intensity and moment by a prodigiously gifted young filmmaker.

Despite its historical surrounding and a few stabs at thematic depth, Map of the Human Heart has all the flavor and plot complexity of a Harlequin romance.

Map of the Human Heart is one of those rare films that illuminates a single human story, and does it so well that you're hardly aware you're watching a movie.
