Quite close to heaven actually!
By Rob from Newcastle Upon Tyne, England , 18 Aug 2004[Highly rated reviewer]
Classy, wonderfully shot film, I really enjoyed it and it made me think. The themes of the trapped woman, suppressed sexuality and inter racial relationships were certainly around in the 50's just beneath the surface. What it made me think was that it could also be a comment on the here and now because despite the rhetoric of politicians I think many people still hold these views and in 2004 that is a very bad thing. So watch it and then think about how many people you know who are just as bigoted today.- Was this review helpful to you?

(152)Everything's Darling..... Everything's Pink !!!
By a customer , 14 May 2012If I didn't know better, I would have thought 'Far From Heaven' actually was a 1950's film, it is that well made and acted !!!
A story of forbidden love, both Gay and inter-racial, set in 1950's - Oh so perfect (on the surface anyway) - middle America.
The script, the costumes, the scenery, the background music and the setting, were all spot on for a 1950's film.
An absolutely 'Darling' film !!!- Was this review helpful to you?

Full 5 stars
By ash53 (53 reviews) from newbury , 05 Oct 2011I was surprised I got this one so quick - it was literally my next dvd after I'd placed it on the list - How can nobody not want to watch this film???? Everything wrong with 1950's america is there under a layer of formica and chromium plating. Repressed homosexuals repressed women, repressed races, could make for a 'worthy' film but Julianne Moore is such a commanding actor just knotting her headscarf gives the world hope.Go for this one- Was this review helpful to you?

PAINT, THE, WHOLE, WORLD, WITH, A . . . RAINBOW!
By nORMObAZZA (1249 reviews) from Surrey, England. , 29 Jul 2011This achieves exactly what it sets out to do, i.e. creates a contemporary 50's Hollywoodland film. The stand out feature is the AMAZING colouring of the film, it goes some way to compensating for the lags in the pacing. Moore looks hot, and when will Quaid start aging? A visual feast.- Was this review helpful to you?
