Review of Far from the Madding Crowd (2015) by Diana S — 20 Jan 2016
Absolutely loved this adaptation of Thomas Hardy's classic novel. Carrie Mulligan is suburb as Bathsheba Everdene, the spirited, independent woman in Victorian England who attracts the attention of not one, not two, but three handsome men.
I was smitten from the first scene with Matthias Schoenaerts as Gabriel Oak. I was equally repelled by Tom Sturridge as the handsome, but slippery Sgt. Troy. Alas...poor Michael Sheen - brilliantly played as the lonely, wealthy bachelor neighbor.
..I knew he'd have his heart broken. Beautiful scenery in rural England. I started to sniffle through the end of the film, and while dabbing at my eyes, the flight attendant on Delta stopped me and said, "there's no crying on my flight!" I said, "You haven't seen this movie then.
".
