This was just an adorable movie. Light, which you don't expect from Thomas Hardy, romantic, funny. James Murray is adorable, too, which makes for easy watching. It was well-acted and the production value was great. If you like romantic British period dramas, you won't be disappointed with this one.

Loved this movie, characters were well developed, costumes and sets were lovely and to the period, acting superb, you could sense and see the chemistry between the two main characters . Iv'e never read the book so maybe I am mispeaking but the ending seemed rather aburpt. Maybe I just wanted more...it was that good.
