Excellent Film

Rating: 10/10 (16 September 2005)

This film is refreshing it brings life into the book. Previous BBC adaptations were good but they lack the emotions of Kierra's fine performance you really believe these people are falling in love. Collins is great too. I was very surprised by how good it was I expected it to not come up to the standard of the BBC version. The way that the film deals with the time element of what took the BBC some 8 hours to achieve were well managed with intense scenes being inter-spaced with visual clues to show the passage of time or to move the plot between the key scenes. Photography was magnificent with the early morning mist in the final scene allowing the focus to be on the actors and not the scenery.
