What a disappointment! Bad casting and direction, unconvincing acting, particularly on the part of Sam Claflin. Rachel Weisz is only okay, but lacks the charisma and depth necessary for this role. Thank god for the supporting actors, who bring some credibility to the whole affair.
The events feel rushed, in an attempt to counteract the fact that this is - let's say it - a pretty dull film.
On the bright side, we get to see some beautiful English (presumably) landscapes. There is that.
It's a shame. Had I watched the film in the first place, I certainly would not have felt driven to read the book. Fortunately I did things in the inverse order.
