Masterpiece Theater

The Tenant of Wildfell Hall
$14.98
although I am not an expert I would recommend this movie to those of you who enjoy period movies. This movie kept my attention and kept me wondering what would come next. It's a good movie to watch on a raining night, alone or with someone who enjoy period movies like you. Happy viewing

Delightful production. Great acting. Character roles, cultural norms, and beautiful setting are charming and interesting.All Passion Spent

Portrait of a Marriage

I saw Part I of this series when it originally aired on PBS many years ago. I bought this to see the remaining episodes. It was a worthwhile purchase! I honestly think my area PBS stations only aired this one time, which wouldn't surprise me, given that it really is about--as its description says clearly--the lesbian relationship between these two women and its impact on ALL of those, but especially their husbands, around them. Everyone in this production is a fine actor. The story is inherently interesting, in part because it involved at least one famous person, Vita Sackville-West. And these women, even without one another's dynamic relationship, were interesting people by themselves. I must admit, to me, this production is driven by character and conflict. If you want typical action-packed, fast-paced American viewing, this is NOT for you. If you abhor lesbianism (for whatever reasons), this is not for you. I did find myself splitting up these episodes, watching each on a different night, over three nights. Much of this story is, at least I think, depressing. I simply couldn't watch more than one episode a night without having it make ME feel down, but I'm very glad I have this production. It was worth investing in.

Not only was the plot full of holes, the acting was horrendous! If possible, I would have given this film zero stars. Nothing in this story is even plausible. It isn't even worth a review except to warn you to avoid it like the plague. Ugh!
