wonderful take on a very sad tale
By serendipityneverland (45 reviews) from Harrow , 07 Oct 2008[Highly rated reviewer]
This is one of the best takes on the classic novel I have seen. Gemma arteton was a revelation(esp for anyone who had seen the recent remake of st trinians). The whole cast acted with authority. The direction and scenary was gorgeous. However as with all Hardy novels this is bleak viewing but well worth watching. Be warned - have your hankies ready.- Was this review helpful to you?

(9)Brilliant Tess
By a customer , 02 Oct 2012A great adaptation of a Hardy classic. Longer than the Polanski version which allows more time to develop the themes. Gemma Arterton is particularly impressive as Tess.- Was this review helpful to you?

Tess of the D'urbervilles
By DPK (2 reviews) from Pinner , 29 Jul 2009Having stayed up to the early hours the previous day, devoured by Hardy's beautifully written novel, i had reservations about viewing a screen adaptation. My worries were that no actress could replicate the delicate yet firm and honest depiction of Tess as Hardy had written her, and that the majesty of the landscapes could translate into boredom on screen. To my suprise it was only my latter worry that was founded, as Gemma Arterton did a superb job of creating a character that the viewer could both sympathize and revere, along with a suitably outstanding supporting cast, most notably the devilish Hans Matherson as Alec D'urberville, and Eddie Redmayne perfectly cast as Angel. As earlier mentioned, my only reservation was the somehow uninspired, almost boring cinematography, which i thought might benefit from some experiment or artistic verve.- Was this review helpful to you?
