Review of Far from the Madding Crowd (2015) by David L — 02 Aug 2015

Far from the Madding Crowd may have a predictable storyline, too melodramatic tone at times and the running time is way too short resulting in many rushed scenes and a rather contrived ending, but this is still a very good film that benefits mostly from excellent character development, terrific performances across the board with Carey Mulligan giving an awards-worthy performance, great dialogue, superb romance and incredible rural scenery and exquisite costume design.
