Kyle M @RT77296778 May 31 General elegance weaves through this period romance, typically from designs to fine casting, particularly with few breakthroughs further establishing reputable star power, it’s rather unrequited love when the story is just too formulaically bland of a routine that null voids its distinctively crafted integrity for adapting a pastime material.

That's about it: not splashy, informative or life-changing, but the movie couldn't be improved by swapping out a single frame. Up until Harry Potter, with which it shares at least two major actors, this was perhaps the greatest British cast ever committed to screen. Lucy Honeychurch may also be one of the grandest names ever heard of. It was a pleasure to see her views on love challenged until she, REO Speedwagon style, couldn't fight the feeling any longer, with plenty of nudging from Denholm Elliott's Mr. Emerson: may we all be granted a parent as supportive as him amidst our own romantic travails.

The plot comes off very simple and I doubt the book had a simple plot. It's a very restrained romance and I doubt fans of romance would like that. It's more about the hard truths of relationships and less about lust. I would watch again but I can imagine why it would turn people off as the Edwardian lifestyle comes off as very slow and boring in this movie.

Helena did fantastic though, along with Maggie Smith and Rupert Graves. 6/10 See more Harvey K @Harvey658 Jun 24 I love love this movie which I perhaps have watched too many times such that you begin to see wrinkles. But, it may well be me, Julian Sands is miscast, can't act and destroys his part of the movie as unutterable Dead Wood. He ruined perfection. See more Read all reviews
