An adaptation at least as good as the novel - complex, delicate and devastating. Gorgeous cinematography, a lilting score and near-faultless performances, under Wright's assured direction, make this the first contender for next year's Best Picture Oscar.

everyone who left a 5 star rating needs to atone for their sins!
Absolutely the most boring film ever! I'm a literary student and usually love adaptations but this film is so slow moving. Dont go there!

Simply Disappointing.
So disappointed with this film, very slow, repetitive and just not what I was expecting, shame really. Not what I expected from Knightly at all.

Thought about leaving it for later...
Such a slow movie, quite boring at the beginning especially cause you kind of know what it's about to happen...
The end saved it a little bit. - 1083248
