Leave your thoughts about Where Angels Fear to Tread.
| Hartford CourantMalcolm JohnsonAscends into a romantic tragedy that nearly rivals earlier film versions of E.M. Forster novels. |
| DVDLaserDouglas PrattThe story's constant and unexpected turns do provide rewards, but the real value of the film is in the richness with which it presents moral and emotional conflicts, laying them out with sensible realism and power. |
| Spirituality and PracticeFrederic and Mary Ann BrussatA richly nuanced comedy of manners about the affect of a foreign country and its culture on two provincial souls. |
| User ReviewPrivate UOh the Italians in Italy. A great adaption! |
| User ReviewCarys EI have no idea why I love this, but I really really do. I should technically hate it - it's slow, quaint, barely anything happens... But there are some really gorgeous lines, Helena Bonham Carter is my idol, and Italy is my favourite place on earth. |
| User ReviewSean Manother period drama. of course i like it! :D |
| User ReviewAniko VIt's what the Brits are really good at: good film adaptations of literary works. Stiff upper lips and propriety poised against Latin passion and impulsiveness, and not necessarily in a clear dichotomy - a contemplation on how best to live life is inevitable. |
| User ReviewAya KIt's been a while, but I liked it quite a bit, in terms of settings and acting performances. |
| User ReviewArlene GI love Helen Mirren films and this one didn't disappoint~ |
| User ReviewSanghee OA typical theme in E.M.Foster - sexual/cultural awakening in a dull british young man. But the film takes too long and I still don't feel like I am getting to know Mr. Herriton. |
