Movie Reviews of He Knew He Was Right

Movie Review: Another triumph.
Summary: 5 Stars

The BBC have done it yet again; they have taken us back in time in a marvellously convincing manner. It is difficult to find fault with any aspect of this production. Settings, locations, constumes and casting are all near perfect and the acting throughout is admirable. From the beginning to the end my attention never flagged for a moment; it was so jam-packed with human interest that I couldn't have enough of it. This is not a melodrama as some have said; taking into account the mores of the time it is totally realistic with nothing over-played. Yes, it was annoying that the central character should allow his happy marriage to be destroyed by unfounded jealousy and a bit difficult to accept until you remember that this wasn't his only source of complaint; he was also annoyed that his spirited wife should refuse to submit to his unreasonable demands, something which as a Victorian husband he felt he had a right to expect. And she was not altogether blameless; she didn't have to behave in such a flirtatious way as to excite her husands jealousy. Or to seem to enjoy so much the frequent visits of her philandering God-father. However, the film was not all focused on the anger and strife of the two central characters; it was enlivened by two other love stories that end happily. With so many characters so well realized, well acted and convincing, I was left wanting more - much more.

Movie Review: Twists and Turns and Characters You Care About
Summary: 5 Stars

At the beginning of the story I thought I knew how it would turn out. I had my favorite characters and cared what happened to them. The movie started out with everything bright, happy, and wonderful. Then the characters began muddling things up. There were lots of twists, turns, and surprises. If the story had gone the way I wanted it to go, it would have been over in 5 minutes and would have been boring. This was much better.

I've become an Anthony Trollope fan. His novels haven't disappointed me yet. This is no exception.

Movie Review: Another wonderful BBC production
Summary: 5 Stars

The BBC production of He Knew He Was Right is absolutely wonderful! The actors did a fantastic job of portraying their characters. In partuicular, Anna Massey did an excellent job as opinionated, yet loving Aunt Stanbury. David Tennant is very humorous as the shy and nervous clergyman, Mr. Gibson.

Andrew Davies once again wrote a screenplay that is extremely faithful to Anthony Trollope's wonderful book. Watch this wonderful adaptation of He Knew He Was Right. You won't regret it.

Movie Review: Excellent story!
Summary: 5 Stars

He Knew He Was Right is a very enjoyable dvd to watch. Albeit the story was melancholy because he was so very paranoid, and the gentleman causing the paranoia knew he was stirring the pot! Bittersweet but with a definite moral point to lovers everywhere.

I love period pieces, the costumes, and the locations in which they are set. This is worth watching!
