Summary: 3 Stars
I just finished watching The Woodlanders and was really disappointed. Not because the acting or movie quality were bad but because it has been edited terribly. Other reviewers commented on this also-unfortunately I haven't had a chance to see the original version of this film, but I can still tell the extent of important scenes that were cut out. Everything moves along too quickly and there are many plot holes and short sequences which seem pasted together without much "flow" to them. What a sad injustice the editor has done to this movie. I did enjoy what there was to be had but it could have been so much better. I just don't understand what they were thinking. It's not as if the movie is overly long. Another half hour or so would have made a world of difference and improved the film greatly. I'd like to recommend this movie based on the excellent performances, music, and scenery, but unfortunately even they couldn't save the botched up editing in my opinion. Guess I will see if I can get hold of an original copy of Woodlanders as I'd really like to watch the complete film as it should have been.Movie Review: OK, but certainly should have been longer
Summary: 3 Stars
Previous reviews go a long way toward explaining what's wrong with this movie -- it's been injudiciously and unwisely cut! As it stands, it's not a bad use of an hour and a half -- compared to what's probably showing on network TV at the time. But it could have been great had the US distributor left it alone as it was shown in Britain.
I agree with previous reviewers who mention that the story seems rushed and the characterizations somewhat superficial. What a lost opportunity.
Movie Review: The Woodlanders
Summary: 3 Stars
This is a good film but I have seen the original version (region 2) and sadly this region 1 DVD is missing crucial scenes, leaving some glaring holes in the story, particularly concerning the excellent Polly Walker's character, Mrs. Charmond. Had I not read the novel and seen the original film, I would have missed some important elements.
The cast is top rate, particularly Rufus Sewell and Emily Woof, in her first starring role.
