Top Critics Reviews

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

rotten:
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.

fresh:
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).

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

rotten:
If it's a choice between the movie's 135 minutes or the 659 minutes of the miniseries, I'd say it's no choice at all. The shorter version is the one that seems long.
