Lisa Schwarzbaum

There's an adult life force in every frame of this luxuriously paced work, even in the sight of rain and a lady's stocking. Read full review

Ella Taylor

The supreme achievement of this lovely film — all three rhythmic, leisurely hours of it -- is that what borders on faintly fascistic body worship in the novel instead feels as perfectly natural to us as it does to the lovers. Lawrence would kvell. Read full review

V.A. Musetto

Intelligent and tasteful, even while being sexually frank. Read full review

Stanley Kauffmann

In this film the lovers are seeking the impossible through the possible. The knowledge of that impossibility makes the scenes all the more powerful. This is the core of Lawrence's novel, and Ferran has understood it. Read full review

TV Guide Magazine Ken Fox

Wragby is a stately manor straight out of English House & Garden, rather than a sprawling, suffocating warren teetering on the edge of a coal pit, and sex is portrayed as a means of personal deliverance rather than a universal salvation, leaving Lawrence's admirers still waiting for the film that will finally do the novel justice.

Marc Mohan

Being a fairly faithful adaptation, this version also has a lot of that other stuff about the hypocrisy of civilized life, the truthfulness of natural splendor and so forth. Read full review

Roger Ebert

Watching this film I reflected that there are only so many Cracker Jacks you can eat before you decide to hell with the toy. Read full review

To "Alexandra:" You and your boyfriend should save your time for more profound movies like "Transformers" or "Pirates of the Carribean 3." Hopefully the people on this site will ignore your assinine and imbecillic comments.
