Late 19th century England; Jude, an intelligent but unworldly stonemason, looks to escape rural poverty by gaining a university education. Toward this goal, when his wife Arabella leaves him, he moves to Christminster where he meets and falls recklessly in love with Sue, his beautiful and intelligent cousin. Though the two realize their destinies are intertwined, when he reveals his previous marriage, she is deeply hurt and in a perverse act of retaliation, marries another man. Broke and denied entrance to the university, he returns to his hometown. Some time later, at the funeral for their common aunt, Sue reveals to Jude that she's desperately unhappy. Soon an illicit romance begins between them until Sue's husband steps aside finally allowing Jude and Sue to be together openly. The two have children and live together as an unmarried couple. Though they must endure social and financial hardship, the two finally find happiness together, until tragedy strikes.

| Internet ReviewsSteve RhodesFor those who do not remember the novel be forewarned that this beautiful but consistently morose tale reaches a surprisingly and horrible conclusion...if it doesn't put you in tears, I'd be surprised. |
| Ozus' World Movie ReviewsDennis SchwartzSometimes outstanding but is a not always satisfying screen adaptation of Thomas Hardy's last novel. |
| VarietyDerek ElleyYoung English actress Kate Winslet adds luster and energy to Jude, a bold and generally successful attempt to adapt Thomas Hardy's final novel, Jude the Obscure, to the bigscreen. |
| Boston GlobeJay CarrA brave, powerful, far from comfortable and distinctly English affair that bears all the hallmarks of a labour of love rather than an example of intellectual folly. |
| rec.arts.movies.reviewsTed PriggeThose who appreciate good social commentary with their films, no matter how slow or downright depressing they are (this one is both) will appreciate Jude, though I doubt anyone truly enjoys it. |
| ReelViewsJames BerardinelliThis is a film of tremendous scope and emotional depth that uncovers the soul of a novel and brings it to life on the screen. |
| Los Angeles TimesKevin ThomasMichael Winterbottom's handsome, uncompromising film. Jude glows with Eccleston's and Winslet's performances and with those in supporting roles. |
| Q Network Film DeskJames KendrickJude is an affecting tragedy because, like all great tragedies, it involves believable, sympathetic characters. Winterbottom's film version benefits immensely from its extremely talented cast of actors. |
| Entertainment WeeklyLisa SchwarzbaumIt's worth seeing this stark adaptation of Thomas Hardy's Jude the Obscure just for the extraordinary performance of Christopher Eccleston as Jude Fawley, the stonemason in turn-of-the-century England whose dreams of university scholarship are thwarted. And British telly director Michael Winterbottom sustains a fine atmosphere of dank misery. |
| San Francisco ChroniclePeter StackJude is knockout Hardy, filled with stormy visual poetry and accompanied by a gorgeous yet simple score. |
