Movie Review Summary

While this film is based on a well loved book I have to admit that I hadn’t read it. Sometimes that make’s reviewing a movie easier, as you see it for the story that it is, rather than what you’ve read elsewhere being converted to screen. Well, after seeing this I can certainly say it’s a good story. There are some things here and there that could have been tweaked but the story flows beautifully, due in part to the casting, and they present a world that it would be nice to live in for a little longer. The element suspense around Tess is not completely obvious and the penny drops quickly, and it makes the rest of the film feel even more poignant.
