Map of the Human Heart is an enjoyable two-hour ride, an unusual and eccentric combination of old-fashioned and modern movie sensibilities, told from a decidedly '90s mindset.

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

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.

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.

Even by Mr. Ward's own high standards in the area of idiosyncrasy, this is a daringly peculiar tale.

An interesting, overlooked film

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.
