## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Riveting
*by T***E on June 5, 2009*

Tess of the D'Urbervilles was a completely captivating film, minute to minute. Gemma Arterton was amazing and subtley yet dramatically nuanced as Tess's life situation changed. I am a real fan of hers after this. Hans Matheson was excellently dark and forboding in his role as Alec, while Eddie Redmayne was alluring and vibrant as Tess's true love, Angel Clare.Let me give you the real impact. I showed it to my Drama classes toward the end of the school year. They were absolutely riveted. I never had such certain, regular attendance, no tardies even, because they were dying to know what would happen next. They were on the edge of their seats from the start to the end of each class. I did ease them into it in the beginning, explaining that the movie would begin slowly as the expository information about the name "D'Urberville", the nature of the countryside, and the lifestyles of the characters were revealed.One more hint about the excellence of this movie lies in the fact that over the three-day Memorial Day weekend, one of my students called me begging me to let her borrow the dvd's because she was so in need of finding out how the story turned out. I mean she sounded really desperate. The next week, she had put a photo of Eddie Redmayne in her cell phone.Aside from all that, "Tess" is a cinematic and dramatic work of art. I am so glad that I own it.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I purchased the video version to watch it many times.
*by K***Y on March 25, 2016*

I have not seen the other movie versions, so this is a review of only this production: the acting is superb, as well as the costumes and setting. I'd read the book a few years ago but had forgotten much of ending. This visual interpretation of the book is unforgettable. I am happy to add this to my British "imports" collection of films. The plot centers around Tess, from a poor family, in a time when women had little options other then marrying rich men, to be comfortable and have a respected status. She's pushed into circumstances that spiral from one hellish event down into another, with happiness never really within her grasp, unless she keeps a dark secret. But being dishonest is not in her nature, & she loses when the illusion one man has of her is shattered when she confesses a reality, within the world of double-standards, that still exists even today. The manipulation of her mother, the ineptness of her father and the cruelty of three men and unforgiving society, shapes her life into a result from which she cannot escape, & finally she succumbs to the consequences of her actions. The never-ending powerlessness and pain in her life causes her to take drastic action to gain control, but destroys her future. There is little comfort in knowing that her family will be taken care of, for her ultimate sacrifice.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Haunting..Will Stay With You A Long Time
*by G***R on September 6, 2009*

This story has so many layers, every time you watch it you will add another dimension to what you have seen...from the open symbolism of nature, fertility, youth, and innocence, to the subtle use of clothing, colors, lighting, and even the names of the characters. The obvious issues of chauvinism and societal 'standards' will have you throwing things at the screen. You'll cheer Tess when she finds her voice and tells her mother 'what for' and wonder where it went when she submits to the control of others. Even with her awful life, Tess keeps going, keeps hoping, to the very end. I haven't watched another version...this one is haunting enough. A rich story of a poor girl and a considerable social comment considering it was written in 1891. Thank you to the producers of this film.
