Movie Reviews of Cranford
Movie Review: Cranford (Masterpiece production)
Summary: 5 Stars
CranfordThis is one of the very best Masterpiece productions I have seen. I am a recent fan of Judi Dench which led me to view it on PBS. I immediately knew I must have it in my DVD library. It is a wonderfully funny movie but with a need for tissues close at hand. It's production is impeccable and the acting superb. Buy it, rent it or borrow it...but by all means see this!!!
I bought the book after seeing the movie and they compliment each other very well.
Movie Review: Great from start to finish!
Summary: 5 Stars
I missed the first episode when this aired on PBS, but when I came in on the second episode, I knew I would be purchasing the dvd. I have never read the book(s) this series is based on, so I didn't have any expectations, but the stories and the people in the village of Cranford charmed me immediately. The cast is incredible, the plots are engaging, and the conclusion ties everything neatly together. I really enjoyed how the workings of the entire community, from landed gentry to the working class, were explored, revealing interesting details of 19th century life.Movie Review: Beautifully and sensitively done.
Summary: 5 Stars
The village of "never changing" Cranford is about to be beset by many changes. New generations, with differing aspirations, sometimes in conflict with the more established citizens, nevertheless treat one another with due respect. The producers of Cranford have done a magnificent job of re-creating for us the scenery and, most of all, the characters that make up this complete little society, complete with aristocracy, gentry, and the laboring poor.
The stellar cast composed of so many of our favorites greatly enhanced our enjoyment. Thanks, again, BBC!
Movie Review: English lives and loves
Summary: 5 Stars
First, I'll admit that I'm a sucker for all things English. I watched this five-hour production on PBS stretched out over three weeks, and I knew this was a story I would want to see again so purchased the DVD. The financial disasters, personal disasters, and changing times give a picture of village life in 19th century England. Villagers are busy with gossip, mistrust the new "modern" doctor's methods, and know their village willl not be the same if the railroad comes. The costumes are great, and Dame Judi Dench never disappoints.Movie Review: Authentic from beginning to end
Summary: 5 Stars
I rented this series from the library, and my 15 yr old daughter and I were enthralled from the moment we started. We watched the entire first disc on saturday evening, and finished the second on Sunday. We were sad to see it end. Amazing, talented cast, and characters you care about throughout. The cinematography, the sets, the costumes are all fantastic. We loved it so much we watched all the editorials at the end... fascinating how the producer, script writer, costumer, art director all worked on the series. Recommend highly!
