Classic Merchant-Ivory production. Everything is lovely, and perfectly paced.
A decent movie that shows the difference in class which is visible throughout the film.
Brings the book vividly to life. Superb cast.
Poetic and beautiful, with Emma Thompson giving a tremendous performance.
Occasionally a bit boring, but still solidly written and well acted.
Typical British class warfare film with good acting and a good soundtrack but slow moving and boring!*
The pinnacle of Merchant-Ivory film. Well-paced, romantic, political, and a sumptuous visual period piece.
Intelligent but slow adaptation of a classic novel. Emma Thompson is great, but this isn’t her best role. Class issues are fascinating imo.
Excellent Romantic drama, with amazing acting from all, moving and emotional story
Very very very Slow but beautiful Film all the same
