It looks good. The acting of the 2 leads is convincing and yet there is no heat, no chemistry and no peril in what they may loose.
As with so much of Lawrence's adaptations, they capture the text, the story, but not the spirit of the author.
It fails to capture some of the subplots that would make this a real telling of the book. Lord Chatterley is a caring thoughtful man one moment and ridiculous stereotype the next. Hilda, caring when Connie is ill and yet cold and shrill later. Mrs Bolton was not developed in this adaptation, possibly because of time.
It's worth a watch. Netflix are starting to do more highbrow movies with Rebecca coming last year. This is better than that. Let's hope it continues.
