Movie Reviews of Cranford
Movie Review: Cranford Captivates
Summary: 5 Stars
We had planned to watch the Cranford episodes as they unfolded on PBS, but because we had a houseguest, I taped them. When we finished viewing the series, my husband had found them so interesting and engaging that he asked to view them a second time. Consequently, I ordered the DVD and we thoroughly enjoyed watching the "Making of Cranford".
I first learned of Elizabeth Gaskell while reading Phyllis McGinley's Sixpence in Her Shoe, when I was newly married. Years later while visiting a London bookstore, I found several of the Gaskell novels and added them to my library. I couldn't resist rereading Cranford the week after seeing the final episode.
I liked the blending of three of Gaskell's novels into this telling of the story. My Lady Ludlow and Mr. Harrison's Confessions give the village a larger context and paint a more complete picture of England at the beginning of the Industrial Revolution. However, nothing of the charm of the perfect English village is lost in this delightful retelling of the story. Each actor seems to catch his character's virtues and foibles perfectly.
Movie Review: Getting to Know Cranston
Summary: 5 Stars
Excellant viewing. I watched all the episodes in one evening. I had to see them all and was sad when it ended. I am gettting ready to watch them again before summer is over!It's a classic must see if you like Jane Austen too. I loved all the characters, they were well developed. You felt lilke you really knew them. It's a good clean, wholesome movie. Very rare.Movie Review: As Cranford Turns
Summary: 5 Stars
I saw this mini series on PBS and I was hooked immediately. The cast has many British actors seen in various Jane Austin movies and they are all wonderful. Great production!Movie Review: great movie
Summary: 5 Stars
there a lot too say but i'm not one too write words about things. only that i will wratch it when it's on t.v. again and continue watching my dvd many more times. there where a few touching scenes that made me cry. the sadiest one i cant remember the actor name but died after got his leg cut off. that whole thing about him and the young boy was very sad.Movie Review: Very good production
Summary: 4 Stars
This production of Cranford is very good, although it is a little slow going for a while. Once it gets into the second DVD the action picks up a bit, and the ending is very satisfactory. My wife and I enjoyed it and I would recommend it to anyone who is patient and loves period productions. One note: The acting is superb.
