Review title: An engaging treatment of a quirky novel
Product review: "Cold Comfort Farm", the novel, was a parody of naturalism. The melodramatic and eccentrically rustic Starkadders- like Seth, a lusty young man who loves "the talkies," Amos, a fire and brimstone preacher, and Great Aunt Ada Doom, who saw something nasty in the woodshed- are interesting enough in their own right, but are really parodies of the way people were portrayed in the Faulkneresque novels of the time. The movie manages to capture some of the parody in the book, but not all of it. It did include many of my favorite bits from the novel, and some truly stellar performances. If you are an Ian McKellan fan, don't miss him as Amos. Eileen Atkins also does a grand job as the Emma-esque Flora. The film is well worth a watch, but one needs to read the novel first in order to best understand and appreciate it.
