A good, if not over-stylized adaptation of the classic novel. I was unfamiliar with the story, before going in, and I can see some of the literary greatness beneath the weight of this big production. Despite good performances all-around, I only felt the drama shine through in a few scenes. The ending falls short of having a much more emotional impact because of this. If nothing else, watching this film has made me want to read the famous novel.
