Grimossfer Clever and entertaining enough to recommend even to members of the 1%

Hadrina The movie's neither hopeful in contrived ways, nor hopeless in different contrived ways. Somehow it manages to be wonderful

Yazmin Close shines in drama with strong language, adult themes.

sindavide A whimsical spoiled girl who doesn't know what she wants from life. She wins a lottery and three stupid men are after her. All three deserve their destiny. Utteraly stupid story. I feel sorry for VInterberg, a great author, who is not an anuthor for this film but just someone who needs money to feed family. Total crap.

Andres-Camara Watching this movie, I remember "What the wind took", the problem is that that same makes this worse. It is a feminist film, which at the same time goes against itself. For my taste casting is very bad. Neither is she the woman by all men would move heaven and earth, nor are they the men by which they would do it.It is too long and at no time has you tied. It's a love story, the rest is the least and you do not get to touch the sentimental side. You're not expecting me to choose any.The photograph also brings nothing. No help is a photograph without more.The address, since it does not get to hook you up, nor to catch you is not good. He does not know how to take the movie. He does not even have the camera. Neither did the casting wellI try to be a love movie. I am trying

beresfordjd I am a lover of the version which starred Julie Christie, Peter Finch and the wonderful Alan Bates so it is impossible not to draw comparisons with this new version. Carey Mulligan is a favourite actress of mine but she is not the Bathsheba that Christie was. You could really believe that men would fall head over heels in love with her. Carey Mulligan is just not that beautiful. The new version looks good but again, nowhere near the lyrical beauty of Schlesinger's film. The story is well told but lacking in the power to draw one in like the earlier version. Finch was just superb in the first film and one really felt his anguish and pain due to his love for Bathsheba.

Sandy0095 This film is based on the Thomas Hardy novel by the same name. It follows Bathsheba Everdene through the course of three male suitors in 1870. We start the movie when she's still quite young and impoverished, though incredibly headstrong. Her neighbor Gabriel Oak immediately proposes marriage, but she turns him down.A few years later, Bathsheba inherits her uncle's estate. Gabriel Oak stumbles upon it after losing his own home. Bathsheba hires him as a laborer when both agree there's no more tension between them. However tension ensues when several suitors become interested in Bathsheba's unusual independence. One is the hilariously clueless William Boldwood, who's several years older. The other is bad boy Francis Troy. Despite being headstrong, she falls for Francis' charisma and troubles emerge. A love triangle is formed between herself and the 3 men in her life.Carrie Mulligan does a great job as Bathsheba Everdene. She plays a modern woman stuck in the restrictive 19th century. Throughout the film, she is constantly fighting to prove her own worth. Her independence often attracting the wrong men. My only issue is with their interpretation of Francis Troy. Bathsheba falls for him immediately, despite his over the top, smarmy attitude. I know this comes from the source material, but it happens so suddenly on film. Bathsheba goes from loving Francis, to pining for Gabriel, to toying with William's affection without pause. Despite wonderful performances from the entire cast, more context would've been appreciated. About 20 minutes more screen time, and the film would've been perfect.
