Movie Reviews of Tess of the d'Urbervilles

Movie Review: BRILLIANT LITERARY ADAPTATION
Summary: 4 Stars

Set in the bleak background of Victorian England, TESS OF THE D'URBERVILLES is a brilliant BBC adaption of Thomas Hardy's 1881 novel about a teenager trapped between two men: one is an ordinary man who offers happiness, the other is a scheming aristocrat who offers wealth. Unlike Roman Polanski's fine 1980 feature film starring Natassja Kinski, this version adhere's closer to the substance of Hardy's text. Justine Waddell gives Tess a teen attitude that rings true. Violated by one man and forsaken by another, she refuses to remain a victim. "Tess of the D'Urbervilles" captures the harsh realism and poignant beauty of a true literary masterpiece. Recommended.

Movie Review: Tess and her terrible troubles
Summary: 4 Stars

This is a beautiful series and I enjoyed watching it. It's definitely a chick flick kind of story, my husband fell asleep watching part one and I never got him to watch her further adventures, but I thought it was very well done. Good acting, beautiful settings, and a look into times past.

Movie Review: good depiction
Summary: 4 Stars

It is good, but my only complaint is that the video is of quite low quality for a DVD. There is an annoying blank strip of line that flashes intermittently throughout the movie, as if it were an old VHS tape. Otherwise, the story is a pretty faithful adaptation of the novel.

Movie Review: very good movie!!
Summary: 4 Stars

I thought this movie was great! The acting in this film makes you feel as if you were there right along side them,feeling the same pain and triumph they are. So if you are a fan of made for tv movies, this ones for you!!
