Hugh Grant and James Wilby give fine and intelligent performances as Clive Durham and Maurice Hall, two exquisitely beautiful young men up at Cambridge in the years before the first world war.

En av James Ivorys många kostymdramer som alla är välspelade men det finns ett stråk av underliggande tråkighet och känslorna och passionen får inte blomma ut under frasiga och välpressade klänningar och kostymer!
