Review of Far from the Madding Crowd (2015) by John935 — 18 Sep 2015
I'm still pondering this the day after, so I give it a favorable rating. Casting is good but not great. Carey M hits all the right notes, in succession, but she seldom hits chords. In other words, I find her performance a bit superficial as opposed to layered.
Sturridge as Sgt Troy is baffling. He's apparently supposed to be super-goodlooking but his appeal just seems odd. The other 2 suitors are excellent. The story seems a little silly (no doubt that's not what Hardy intended) but the brisk pace holds our attention and the film is captivating visually.
