Top Critics Reviews
fresh:
[Schlesinger] displays the best sense of Victorian time and place since David Lean in Great Expectations.

fresh:
Alan Bates, in a change of pace, is the loyal shepherd. Terence Stamp is a suitably vile Sgt. Troy, and Peter Finch makes Boldwood strong and honorable in his love for Bathsheba.

rotten:
Pictorially excessive but dramatically barren.

rotten:
Christie has few real opportunities to branch out of her rather muted and pouty lead.

rotten:
Thomas Hardy was not the most dynamic novelist in English literature, but this sluggish 1967 film still does him a serious disservice.
