Movie Reviews of Coming Through
Movie Review: Branagh as Lawrence Comes Through. However...
Summary: 2 Stars
Indeed, COMING THROUGH is Kenneth Branagh's least interesting film. This semi-period film appears to center around D.H. Lawrence, however, it does not completely involve the life of D.H. Lawrence. The packaging of this DVD and film is quite deceiving.
For the most part, the plotline involves a female scholar who takes a weekend trip to do research about Lawrence, and happens to encounter a young man in the library in which she is doing her research who is an avid Lawrence reader. Their storyline suddenly spills over to flashback scenes of Lawrence's life, and this is where the film lacks cohesion. The romantic liaison/affair between Lawrence and the married Frieda Von Richthofen, which is depicted on the cover of the DVD, is interesting and intriguing, but it is fragmented and poorly displayed in the film. Also, the intertwining subplot between the young man and the female scholar attempts to show a romance between the two, which further creates a mess of a film.
COMING THROUGH did not come through. The English landscape is amazing as well as Branagh's acting. However, the film looks like a BBC film or a made for television production, which may have been shown during the holidays. This film may be good for die hard Branagh fans, but otherwise, skip it.
