Review of Howards End (1992) by Jacob G — 24 Jul 2011
While Helena Bonham Carter has made a career out of playing wacky characters, seeing her playing more of a straight, normal character is a revelation. She is actually a really fine actress and feels rather like Jo (from Louisa May Alcott's book Little Women) in an early-1900s setting.
The story of Howards End is intertwined with family social status and economical differences... and lots of dialogue, and slow moving scenes, and general awkwardness. But it is oh-so-glorious in action.
It is a movie that, because of it's pacing and length, requires a deal of patience, but the subtle textures it paints is quite worthwhile.
