    Michael Winterbottom's handsome, uncompromising film. Jude glows with Eccleston's and Winslet's performances and with those in supporting roles.

    With Christopher Eccleston as Jude and Kate Winslet of ''Sense and Sensibility'' as his great love, Sue Bridehead, and with convincing evocations of 19th-century England from locations in Edinburgh and the north of England, Jude remains a handsome if gravely flawed film.

    Director Michael Winterbottom languidly unspools the story; nothing seems to lead to anything.

    Not true to the novel, epsecially the proto-feminist lunacy of Winslets character. Ridiculous screenplay, poorly directed and woodenly acted.

    The director doesn't do justice to Thomas Hardy. What was the need for showing all that nude scenes? The novel is unforgettable for its pathos. I pity the director who could not grasp the novel.… Expand
