Epic, briliantly photographed, but slow David Lean drama.
November 06, 2007
Lean does an excellent job of conveying the repressive nature of British society captured in the novel.
November 06, 2007
The film, for all Lean's innate elegance, is strangely remote and unmoving. It could easily have been a Merchant-Ivory film.
April 17, 2008
Lean isn't on his A-game here, but the film isn't bad.
October 23, 2004
Forster's novel is one of the literary landmarks of this century, and now David Lean has made it into one of the greatest screen adaptations I have ever seen.
April 21, 2008
Lean's visually appealing film frequently connects as a social satire and a mystical melodrama of transgressors looking for footholds in psychically threatening territory.
May 20, 2003
The film is very much 'a full theatrical meal,' and one that conveys a lot of 'the multiplicity of life' one seldom sees on the screen these days.
November 06, 2007
An impeccably faithful, beautifully played and occasionally languorous adaptation of E.M. Forster's classic novel.
March 19, 2008
Lean's swan song is an intelligent adaptation of Forster's complex novel about racil prejudice and sexual repression, flaunting wonderful perfromances from the two leads, Judy Davis and particularly Dame Peggy Ashcroft.
June 24, 2006
Not for literary purists, but if you like your entertainment well tailored, then feel the quality and the width.
April 24, 2008
Regardless of what one thinks of David Lean and his old fashioned style, the results here - save perhaps for the casting of Alec Guinness as a Hindu professor - are exquisite.
November 06, 2007
David Lean's studied, plodding, overanalytic direction manages to kill most of the meaning in E.M. Forster's haunting novel of cultural collision in colonial India.
