 Rating: - Has me in tears everytime.This production encapsulates what Thomas Hardy presents in his novel; the harsh reality of toiling rural wessex, the culture, nature and the hypocracy of victorian society along with tess' tragic tale. The scoring was also very emotive. Would highly recommend this DVD especially over and above the most recent dry 2008 production. Acting is supurb with the south western accents (Important to me as I am from the same area). Beautifully told and has me in tears everytime. Rating:  - Angel is Divine in This!I think I have been spoilt. Watching the new BBC version of Tess inspired me to watch this ITV version again and in my opinion, it doesn't come close to matching it! One thing it it's favour is that I love Oliver Milburn as Angel! He is gorgeous and this is worth watching for him alone. I think the chemistry he and Justine Waddell share is electric. I am not so convinced of Justine as Tess. She lacks the innocence of Tess and I found her acting a bit forced. The most annoying thing for me though is the commentary all the way through. Talk about ruining the moment! Whoever came up with that idea should have been sacked. Perhaps I have been too harsh. It is a moving portrayal of the story and I did cry at the end. Maybe had the BBC version not come out I would have loved it more, but this version will always fall short for me. Rating: - Beautiful and BitterSweetA wonderful adaptation of the original novel. The sets are authentic and the characters are well-done. There were some differences between the this film version and the book, of course; it would be almost impossible to have a perfect match to a novel that is so subtle and heart wrenching; but this version comes very close. Highly recommended. Rating: - Outstanding achievmentA wonderful film, unbelievably well acted and directed.Beautiful shots of the " Wessex" countryside alongside the grim reality of rural squalour, and the unrelentless drudgery of agricultural labour. The smells and the sounds are all there; one is transported and locked into a world as seen by Hardy.Incredibly well done - the highest praise for all the production team. See the film, enjoy it but be prepared to be emotionally moved. How fickle fate is; what monstrous consequences did the Vicar set rolling with that seemingly innocuous greeting " Sir Jack " Tears are permitted, and ideed louder than well deserved applause. Rating: - A must!Sometimes when you watch films based on classic books you are too busy comparing between the book to fully appreciate the film version. Well this scores full marks on both accounts. It both succeeds in creating an accurate version of the book, and works well as a film in its own right. Whether you have read the book or not. Whether you are a fan of period dramas or not. This is a film you should watch. It is both beautifully acted and is visually impressive. The photography is detailed and intelligent. The acting is top draw, the characters being portrayed with authenticity which easily involves you in the pathos of the story. As is ever with Hardy, you won't be expecting a typical "happy ending", what you will get however is much, much, more. You will get something that is genuine. Something that you truly moves you, gaining an experience that will stay with you for a long time. Trust me, buy it or rent it today.
