Dorothy M.

The acting is good, I like Helen Mirren. It is interesting to see that she did not get very many good acting roles until later in her career. Her best yet is Elizabeth I by HBO. I found it interesting to see everyone can make poor choices in life. Here we have a married woman with three children that leaves them to make a life with male companionship. Makes you wonder how it affected the children's lives. The movie would have been more interesting if more detail was added about the consequences of her choice,...which became increasing bad.

While we witness the fateful meeting of D.H. Lawrence, a teacher and miner's son in Nottingham, and Frieda, the aristocratic German-born wife of a professor, their physical passion isn't shown. Instead, Lawrence's wooing of Frieda is confined to recitation of his own poetry and intense coversation. A somewhat static point of view. In a parallel story, we meet a 1980s Lawrence aficionado trying in vain to seduce a woman he meets in a Nottingham library. Only worth seeing for Kenneth Branagh as Lawrence and Helen Mirren as Frieda.
