Movie Reviews of Middlemarch
Movie Review: A town of progress, passion, and perplexities
Summary: 4 Stars
Four and a half stars really.
Different from most period piece movies in the fact there is a lot more politics, science, etc than you'd find in a Jane Austen movie. An excellent film overall, but with one huge flaw: the "climax" at the end that brings two people together in love stems from a very weak lovestory which I'm certain must have been done much better in the book. Although you are happy to see them together in the end, you don't really know why they fell in love and you don't really care that much if they end up together. Some great stories of tragedy that are done far better than the love stories.
Movie Review: Long, but entertaining.
Summary: 4 Stars
This BBC depiction of George Elliot's Middlemarch was extremely well done. The costumes and casting were great- Causabon was just as I imagined he would be!
I was a little disappointed that some of Will Ladislaw's story was missing from the movie, but it is easily overlooked (especially if you have never read the book).
It is easy to navigate through the various chapters on the dvd- and with a running time of 6 hours, you'll probably have to watch it in a few installments.
If you're a fan of the BBC's Pride and Prejudice from the 90's, you'll most likely find this quite entertaining.
Movie Review: DVD of Middlemarch
Summary: 4 Stars
The BBC production of George Eliot's Middlemarch is the book. You have to be a fan of Middlemarch and Geroge Eliot to appreciate the length of the DVD.It takes both sides of the disc but is well worth it. The English countryside and the costumes put you right into the story. There is also a side story of the effect politics and railroads have on this time in history. I really liked it, but George Eliot is one of my favorite authors. It was good to see the novel come to life.Movie Review: Middlemarch
Summary: 4 Stars
This film is entertaining, although slow-moving throughout most of it. It gives an engaging view of England during an age of new ideas and middle class asserting itself into government. The characters are cast fairly well, though the romantic relationships are not very compelling or satisfying. It is worth the money if you're truly into English 19th century film genre.Movie Review: Great Film
Summary: 4 Stars
I had rented this film once and did not complete it. I decided to purchased it from Amazon and so glad I did. It is a fully well made film and the story is full of interesting characters, though I did not care to much for the finale. I will buy all your period films since I am a great lover of BBC and England. Thanks
