Excellent performances by everyone involved help you overlook the incongruity of French-speaking actors in traditional English settings.

Director Pascale Ferran is true to the spirit of the book and gives us an eyeful, of both the glorious countryside and the lovers' physiques.

The beautiful scenery complements the intimate scenes even as the story becomes something we've all seen and read in so many books and films. Yet, its candid conversations about sexuality are what places Lawrence's protagonist in a class by herself.

Marta Barber, Miami Herald

A picture about passion that invites none, a picture far easier to admire than to adore.

Rick Groen, Globe and Mail
Rotten

The relationship ...becomes more intriguing somewhere in the movie's third hour, but getting to that point is too much of a chore.
