Rating:  - The Tenant of Wildfell
The BBC production of this Anne Bronte novel is excellent.
Fine cast (especially Toby Stephens and Dame Judy Dench)
I fully enjoyed this DVD.
Rating: - Tennant Of Wildfell Hall
Anne Bronte is an early proponent of women's rights. Although least known of the Bronte sisters Anne seems to be the most intelligent of the three. This is a wonderful story of a young woman who finds herself locked into a marriage with a very rich abusive husband, her struggles to escape his control & begin again in life as an independent woman. I would highly recommend 'The Tennant Of Wildfell Hall' to any Bronte/period piece enthusiast
Rating: - Addictive and Delightful
I thoroughly enjoyed and can highly recommend this film to anyone who likes BBC period films. Let me preface by saying that this is not Jane Austen but Anne Bronte so it does not contain the usual whimsical characters bantering back and forth with witty repartee. This film is dark and somber and very chilling, however, the stellar cast and the storyline will draw you in and keep you enthralled until the final conclusion. How can you pass up any film that stars Tara Fitzgerald, Rupert Graves (who as another reviewer notes: stole the show) and Toby Stephens. It is a story of love, betrayal, depravity, guilt and absolution.
Rating:  - Wonderful story
I throughly enjoyed the "Tenant of Wildfell Hall". It was a wonderful story with great characters.
Rating:  - Worst BBC movie
This is the worst BBC movie I have ever seen. When I order one of those classic Jane Austen-style movies, I expect something "clean" that I could watch with children in the house. I did not expect or desire to view bedroom scenes in a period film, especially scenes containing sexual perversion and depravity. I guess they wanted to show how demented the heroine's husband was, but the scenes were disturbing and I wish I had never seen that movie.
