I am one of the few people who haven't read the book nor seen the stage production of this movie so can't do any comparison.
However, on the evidence of the movie, I'd have to say it's a gem of a story.
Everything about it was fabulous. Liam Neeson is truly one of the best actors of his generation. Geoffrey Rush was great too. Can't say that much about the others although Uma Thurman has caught my eye.
It is very difficult to pull off a period movie convincingly but this one's an exception.
Loved it, want to see it again.
And now for the book......and the musical....
