Brideshead Revisited
It is a drama film that captures the story of two young men meeting in Oxford. Charles Ryder coexists his life when he becomes a friend of Sebastian Flyte while Sebastian wakes up in his university room. Charles invites his new friend to lunch where Charles shares with the Sebastian family, their Catholic peers in the Protestant kingdom and perhaps there will be a diversity of cultures and events between both sides.

A bleak and often befuddling 2-hour-15-minute disappointment.

If you're in the market for a veddy British drama and miss seeing Emma Thompson in her natural environment, Brideshead Revisited is a worthwhile two-hour meditation on faith (and the lack thereof).

The events in the film felt rushed and overly obvious, as if Harry Potter's adopted parents dressed him in an "Ask me about wizardry" t-shirt before Hagrid ever turned up.

Occasionally interesting, always beautiful and regularly tedious, the film attempts to capture a time and a feeling yet it ultimately fails to provide the depth needed to make it wholly successful.

it still has the high-class dramatic feel you'd expect from something you would have watched on PBS twenty years ago

Thompson, though, is marvelous; with understated precision and grace, she makes every word count. Also excellent is Michael Gambon.

Certainly passable, but less than spectacular, Brideshead Revisited is an authentic and decent adaptation of a well-known novel, but nothing more.

What's missing from Goode's performance and from the film as whole is the layer upon layer of accumulated motive -- the gradual evolution of a man's complex desires and even-more-complicated fears.

Yes, it's a compressed version, but I found it very enjoyable.

Performances are good - Thompson and Gambon impress - but the insipid music is dreadful.

slow and beautiful, rather than intense, dramatic and insightful
