TAMARA DREWE

Great Britain
2010
111 minutes

A peaceful Dorset village is torn apart by the return of a native girl who made it big as a journalist in London. Amiably acid satire of British mores, loosely inspired by Thomas Hardy's Far from the Madding Crowd, that is impeccably presented and performed but never really takes off.
