    I found this rendition to be distinctly mediocre in many ways: writing, casting (especially), and acting. Watch the movie instead.

    Good not great. I had no reference to the source material & never saw the one with Anthony Hopkins. Pretty period piece, challenging but unlikable male characters. Not Downton Abbey.

    The lead actress (Atwell) was excellent. The scenery, sets, and outfits all seemed of high quality. The story, however faithful to the original, left a lot to be desired. In short, I found it a bit dull. And maybe even more importantly, I really didn't like anyone except for Atwell's character. The men, in particular, were all kind of unpleasant.

    Dissecting people--and classes, and ideas--is all that Howards End is interested in. It does so beautifully, with intellectual precision and an able and charismatic cast, but also with a clinical, not-quite-ironic distance. It’s an easy story to enjoy and admire, and a very difficult story to love wholeheartedly.

    Kenneth Lonergan’s four-part miniseries, which arrives Sunday on Starz, is its own masterpiece, visually lavish and narratively restrained. Lonergan and the director Hettie Macdonald find something profound in the story’s clash of cultures between the liberal, bourgeois Schlegels and the emotionally repressed, establishment Wilcoxes that feels vital in this particular moment.

    The comparatively extended length of the enterprise--four hours, versus two hours and 22 minutes for the ’92 film--allows for a detailed and unhurried experience, and the storytellers take advantage of the lengthened timeline, even if they sometimes fail to put emphasis in the right spots. All in all, the new Howards End is a fresh take on an old source, and the longer it goes on, the more different, even special, it gets.
