      Audience Member a bit slow but it seems to capture the book's atmosphere Rated 2 out of 5 stars 02/14/23 Full Review Audience Member Masterpiece Theater...good stuff! Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/07/23 Full Review Audience Member Earnest and I liked Frain and Watson. However, the story is interesting in the first half and silly in the second half to the point of not making any sense. The ending made me so mad I wished I had not spent time watching the whole thing. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 02/21/23 Full Review Audience Member I don't pretend to have read the book, but given that it's a classic, I think this was a somewhat poor adaptation. A long slow moving period drama romance with a sudden unexpected ending that rather achieved confusion than tragedy. It had engaging moments and some interesting dialogue that bespoke of a good book somewhere beneath the bad transcription. Unconvincing but not disastrous. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 01/30/23 Full Review Audience Member Sad romance of fueding between business persons whereby the children get caught up and tragedy ensues. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 02/13/23 Full Review Audience Member Although there seemed to be a mass of passion bubbling under the surface of the story, the overall affect of the movie was fairly dull and cold. The characters seemed to have no depth especially the lead, and the plot seemed thrown together and awkward most of the time. The fact that there was that sense of underlying passion to the story and its characters indicates that the book on which it was based must be a brilliant read if you're into that sort of thing. For this reason, I can't wait to read George Eliot's book - just to to discover the true feelings and personalities of the characters which seemed to be lost in this movie Rated 2 out of 5 stars 01/24/23 Full Review Read all reviews Post a rating
