A well made film with all of the right intentions but it just can't compensate for the tarnished nature of the original novel.
When it comes down to it, Hardy isn't interested in love - his women are strange, often deceitful creatures. Hardy, was let's face it, bigotted and a mysoginist.
To try and make this look like a love story is a big mistake.
