LOVEFiLM Review Trishna

  • 2.5 stars out of 5  

    By Tom Charity from LOVEFiLM

    Director Michael Winterbottom deserves credit for tackling Hardy's classic tale, it's just a shame he didn't bring a screenwriter along for the ride.

    [Highly rated reviewer]

    East meets West in this gloriously shot film. It explores the clash between two cultures and shows the dangerous when love becomes a dependency and is not allowed to blossom. Woven within the story are reminders of the weaknesses of our modern society.

  • Worth a watch but needed a better ending

    Rated - 3.5 stars  
    By a customer , 11 Mar 2013
    Very watchable and Freida Pinto is great in this film. However I felt the climax to the film was too rushed, its like Michael Winterbottom forgot 3 quarters of the way through that the film is supposed to be based on Tess of the D'Urbervilles. Could have been a lot better but worth a watch.

  • Leaves an Impression

    Rated - 5.0 stars  
    By a customer , 08 Feb 2013
    Absolutely loved the film. This movie is well made and captures the story really well with the emotions that you can really connect with. Freda Pinto's acting is superb and very believeable. The scenes of Rajasthan really shows the true colours of this rich and cultural state of India. A film I would watch again!

  • Something missing...

    Rated - 1.5 stars  
    By muswellhillnick (12 reviews) from London , 23 Dec 2012
    Not much to commend this in my view. A promising opening doesn't really go on to deliver. Nor deal with Tess's (Trishna's) desire to escape her claustrophobic environment. Instead a rather curious tale emerges, that gives the impression of being improvised. Riz Ahmed is poor, Freida Pinto much more convincing. All in all though, a miss.

    Intelligent and poignant updating of Tess. Beautifully shot with some excellent acting. Shame I knew all along it couldn't end well.

  • Lovely but needs more subtitles.

    Rated - 3.0 stars  
    By smag3 (18 reviews) from York , 31 Oct 2012
    I enjoyed the film but did find it a little confusing at times, well lots of times. This is probably due to the fact that a lot of the conversation is not conducted in English but there are very few subtitles. I think I literally lost the plot. Despite that i did enjoy it and luckily knew the original story so could fill in the gaps myself.
