Movie Reviews of The Camomile Lawn
Movie Review: WHO THREW THAT CHAIR ONTO THE SET?
Summary: 2 Stars
I watched this when it came out, and have returned to it years later.
And how different it seems in retrospect.
The acting is wooden - it's as if someone threw a chair onto the set. There are some good performances but in the main the order of the day is clipped upper class Englishness with warmth and humanity drained away. All very sterile.
The writing and dialogue is at times painful, stilted and unreal, with the delivery of lines from the actors forced and almost alien.
Some other strange stuff too: the uncle liked little girls (in a sexual way)and this was shrugged off as mild eccentricity. How times have changed since the 1990s !
What is good about this series is the historical references and the depiction and sense of the war years.
Well worth watching but not the greatest piece of drama.
