  Good one to rent
  
  The film was well done and you can see beautiful English countryside and London scenes in it. Never a dull moment how the story twisted and turned.

  Yawn fest
  
  Utter twaddle. I watched in the vain hope that there would be a twist, or even a point, but it didn't come. Boring and pointless in the extreme.

  Jolly good Fellowes...
  
  Taking advantage of his Oscar screenwriting win for Gosford Park, Julian Fellowes set about adapting Nigel Balchin's A Way Through The Wood.

  OK but...
  
  It wasn't bad. It wasn't good. It was depressing. And not terribly exciting. Not very credible either. Ah well.

  What a deeply disappointing film. The pedigree of Julian Fellowes led me to expect wit and style, but what I got was leaden and dull, slow and obvious. It had... read more »

  Seriously Awful
  
  This film is not at all fun to watch. There doesn't seem to be much point to it, there is no story line. I wouldn't advise anyone to rent this film.
