I really liked the first half of the movie but I thought it started to drag a bit toward the end. Maybe my attention span is the problem...

not bad, but nowhere near as good as the old pbs version -- that one had a lot of subtlety -- this one hits you over the head with everything

Interesting remake and period piece. The actors were wonderful, and Hayley Atwell is wonderful and attractive actress. Worth the price of admission.

MCT:August 31, 2008I loved it. It was beautiful.
Most probably not the movie for everyone, since it's mostly about the story of the characters, no action at all but definetly captivating. -

This movie although not so popular and mainstream is so fabulous and elegant. It reminds me of Merchant-Ivory Production of the movie MAURICE, adapted from the novel of E.M. Forster.

A nearly Nietzschean take on Waugh's ruinous catholic guilt which eats up a manor of stuff shirted blue bloods and their philandering ways.

Well done adaptation of the novel. Emma Thompson is great as the too in control mother. It was interesting to see both this and Vicky Cristina Barcelona and compare their take on happiness and relationships.

Beautiful film with strong performances. Although the adaptation nicely condensed the Evelyn Waugh novel, it would have benefited by stretching the story out a little longer, allowing the viewer to get to know the characters better and appreciate the locations.

I love period movies. The sets and costumes are usually fantastic. Brideshead Revisted is no exception, showcasing the lovely Castle Howard not to mention Venice. Unfortunately the film seems to jump around and leave out parts the book probably explores in greater detail, so one should probably read the novel first.

MCT:August 16, 2008This was a stand-out film in terms of production value. The story is all-too-familiar for those who are acquainted with the characters from the PBS series...but the lush production mounted and filmed is worth the trip to the cinema.
Much like last year's Atonement, Brideshead Revisited relies heavily on its countryside palacial scope of its setting. Sumptuous cinematography, costume design and lighting all make for a very beautiful picture.
On the acting side, all are respectable--but it's Emma Thompson who really stands out as the iron-fisted matron of Brideshead. Her disdain oozes with every back-handed compliment or shred of seemingly civil dialogue spoken by her character.
The story of unrequited love-lost is classic and plays out like a typical Merchant Ivory epic--although this technically isn't one.
Definitely worth seeing on the big screen. A solid period piece despite its sad attempt to market it as something more contemporary and along the lines of a cheesy sequel to Cruel Intentions. That it is, most definitely, not. -

An engaging enough British manor melodrama that grows somewhat disjointed in its rushed second half.
-
A fantastic tale of love and betrayal. I think that there is nothing worse than an ambitious man who gets what he wants only to lose it all. There is no hope for others in that regard.

MCT:August 1, 2008
Beautifully filmed and acted, pre-WWII drama about the eccentricities of the young British aristocracy. Evelyn Waugh's acclaimed novel is nicely condensed, and will hold your attention throughout.

MCT:July 20, 2008The amounts of malicious and deceitful behavior that permeate the entire trailer are absolutely delicious!
