Description:
Hailed by critics nationwide, ETHAN FROME is the classic Edith Wharton tale of blazing passion and forbidden desire! Screen sensation Liam Neeson (K-19: THE WIDOWMAKER, SCHINDLER'S LIST, HUSBANDS AND WIVES) stars as Ethan Frome, a man torn between his joyless marriage to one woman and his lustful desire for another (Patricia Arquette -- STIGMATA, TRUE ROMANCE, TROUBLE BOUND). His actions soon lead to a forbidden triangle between one love that is, and one that will never be. See what all the heat is about in this timeless story of love, betrayal, and desire!
Amazon.com:
Here's the film of a novel nobody liked in high school (but probably succumbed to when they read it in later life, as they should). Based on the book by Edith Wharton, it's one of those repressed romances of longing and regret carried out in real time and real life. Liam Neeson plays the humble Ethan, manipulated into marrying a plain and sickly woman (Joan Allen, every bit as good as she is in The Contender), who still manages to dominate him. When she grows so ill that Ethan requires help to care for her, they import her poor cousin (Patricia Arquette), who sparks thoughts in Ethan that never occurred to him with his wife. Neeson has a great fire within, as he confronts an array of possibilities that simply remain out of reach because the alternative is unthinkable in this tight-knit New England community. Arquette bubbles with life, while Allen can freeze blood at 100 paces with one of her icy glances. Slow-moving at times but worth it for the final payoff. Directed by John Madden (Shakespeare in Love). --Mark Englehart

Average Rating: 
Rating:  - Ethan Frome
I am in LOVE with Liam Neeson. Now, that being said, this is still a wonderful film. The acting is very good. The story, by Edith Wharton,is a tragedy and ends tragically. But it's beautiful nevertheless. The setting is so wonderfully New England, chilly and gray at times. So get out a box of tissues, a platter of chocolate chip cookies for comfort, and sit back uninterrupted to watch this film. You'll be aware that you are watching a classic.
Rating: - Ethan Frome
Though there are differences between the book and film, this version is creative and engaging.
Rating: - Great movie
I never read the book, so I was very surprised by the ending. I loved the movie. I thought Liam Neeson did a great job as usual.
Rating: - Great movie~!
I have watched this movie a couple of times and LOVE it. You really feel like you are back in time with these characters. A true love story to the end. It's one of those movies that you can't figure out right away. Love the twist at the end.
You won't waste your money here.
Rating: - Beautiful, Breathtaking.....Wonderful!
If you love a great period love story, then don't let any negative reviews stop you from seeing this terrific movie. The superb acting and beautiful scenery pull you right into the story, and the sexual tension between Laim Neeson and Patricia Arquette is incredibly palpable. It's the kind of movie that you can watch again and again and never get bored. One of my all-time favorites.
