Fine pastoral story of redemption
28 January 2001
Filmed with an obvious love for the "enchanting" locale, I thoroughly enjoyed it until the end, which I find rather abrupt, tidy, and not a little bourgeois. Something about these portrayals of women desperate to escape their English lives strikes me as very sad, and very irritating if done too neatly. Nonetheless, the acting is fine and the book is certainly more clever in wrapping everything up.
