Very Poor - , 29 August 2008
  • Mrs Palfrey At The Claremont on DVD (2005)
    Starring: Joan Plowright,  Zoe Tapper,  Rupert Friend
    Director: Dan Ireland
    Certificate: Certificate: PG
    This is disappointing adaptation of a very good Elizabeth Taylor novel. The heart of the story is the developing friendship between an old lady(Mrs Palfrey) and a feckless young writer(Desmond). The film over-sentimentalizes the story to the point of overdose. The Desmond character is far less innocent in the book and much more interesting, his friendship with Mrs. Palfrey becomes something insidious. None of this is captured in the film. Also the modern setting seems weirdly jarring. There are a couple of funny lines (on the strength of the writing) but that doesn't rescue the film from mediocrity. Joan Plowright's nostril flaring is unbearable.   13 out of 13 people found this review helpful
