Title: Fun at times, but mostly a disappointment
Product review: I was disappointed with the adaptation of Rosamunde's Pilcher's epic novel. The filmmakers simply did not have enough time to develop any of the characters. It is all "tell" and no "show." You are told that Judith wins the Cairn Cup, but are never shown her doing anything that would indicate why she deserves it. You never see the friendship between Loveday and Judith or develop. There are some good performances, such as the actor playing Tommy Mortimer and Peter O'Toole (greatly underused) and I liked what they did with the character of Jess, but overall, it is a disappointment.
Would you say this review depicts the product in a flattering or unflattering light?
