Far from the Madding Crowd - Avis

...the film is splendidly lusty fare, its feet deep in the mud of the English countryside, its head in the lens-flared glare of a dreamy tragi-romantic sky.

Lush and well-played, with cinematographer Nicolas Roeg on top form.

...a story with multiple rejected marriage proposals and reversals of fortune...

…njutbar, i allt från musik till klipp och dansant dramaturgi.

...er en visuel lise takket være Charlotte Bruus Christensens pragtfulde billeder af den engelske countryside...

I Carey Mulligan (...) har Vinterberg en lysende hovedrolle.

Thomas Vinterberg kaster sig ud i en svær disciplin: engelsk, romantisk periodedrama. Men han mestrer genrens konventioner.
