Love the Brontes, my horse is named Bronte!, and was so looking forward to it but could have walked out. Didn't expect to see sheep having throat cut, hare having neck broken and dogs being hung, most realistically. The film was shot with hand held cameras, sun and rain spots on the lenses, out of focus and irritating. Poor acting, very wooden, poor characterisation and quite honestly the only thing I enjoyed was my Cadbury's Fruit and Nut Bar! Oh, and the shots of Swaledale!

Adore the Bronte sisters, my horse is named Bronte!, and was so looking forward to the film. I found it tedious, offensive, violent and couldn't wait for it to finish. In fact I would have walked out had it not disturbed others watching. Shot with a hand held camera, rain and sun spots on the lens, out of focus - poor acting, poor characterisation. The scenery was great but the only thing that truly saved the afternoon was my Cadbury's king size Fruit and Nut bar!!!Allyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12005808036236733190noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-280582018791422638.post-40772312583098177472011-11-17T08:54:16.279-08:002011-11-17T08:54:16.279-08:00Me neither Weaver.

The Review Show, to the best of my memory, was preoccupied with how the film had stripped out all the words - and the fact that there was no music but a lot of natural sound.Titushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16380213493011623153noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-280582018791422638.post-51614114011810235792011-11-17T00:55:55.230-08:002011-11-17T00:55:55.230-08:00This was not the Ralph Fiennes version - I would h...This was not the Ralph Fiennes version - I would have been raving about that!!<br /><br />Thannks for the comments - still nobody who has actually seen the film.The Weaver of Grasshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13947971556343746883noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-280582018791422638.post-39163351078761481642011-11-16T17:12:37.250-08:002011-11-16T17:12:37.250-08:00The 2009 Masterpiece Classic version, made for tel...The 2009 Masterpiece Classic version, made for television, is my all-time favorite.
