Even if Girl With a Pearl Earring is not nearly as remarkable dramatically as it is visually, it is, finally, a film of great beauty, and that is something worth appreciating.

Village Voice
As the imaginary historical subject, Johansson holds her frequent close-ups with considerable authority.

(Johansson) gives a nearly silent performance, yet the interplay on her face of fear, ignorance, curiosity, and sex is intensely dramatic.

New York Daily News
Like stepping inside a Vermeer painting. The light, color and composition are eerily perfect.

New York Post
It would be hard to overpraise Johansson - who could hardly look more perfect for the part - for her extraordinary ability to convey so much emotion with so few words.

Roger Ebert
Doesn't cook up melodrama and romantic intrigue but tells a story that's content with its simplicity.
