Filmjack3 - imdb.com
Among many of the most prestigious literature selections, not to mention mini-series, Brideshead Revisited not only wasn't on my radar, I didn't even know if it would be the kind of well-regarded literature or mini-series I intended to watch. But as... Full review

I loved this film even thought I didn't know what it was about initially. The story involving Catholic religiousity in a decadent between-war England was intricate and acting was good. Great direction and visual imagery.... Full review

Beautiful scenery and props, neat old cars, carriages, and opulent setting. Leaves a bad taste in your mouth when it is all over. I especially loved the old train.... Full review

Mr.Q Pettyhands - imdb.com
I have never read the book or seen the miniseries, so my experience wasn't clouded by already existing expectations and assumptions of the characters. Instead I was awaiting a first, and therefore unbiased look into the world of Brideshead. As a... Full review

I usually love period pieces, and I'm a big fan of Emma Thompson, but I didn't like this movie at all. The acting was good and the house was beautiful, but I just didn't like the story. I didn't care about... Full review
