Translated from swedish: Skillful Thomas Hardy film adaptation

Translated from swedish: Beautiful portrayal of marriage's various forms

4 / 6
Translated from swedish: The 2015 version of "Far From The Madding Crowd" pushes the feminist theme more explicitly than the 1967 film.
- Jan LumholdtSwedish: svd.se »
-
3 / 5
Translated from swedish: While romance may be kept on the back burner in terms of plot, this is more than made up for by countryside cinematography that practically lets us smell the hay, apples, and meadows.
- Stefan HedmarkSwedish: aftonbladet.se »
-
3 / 5
Translated from swedish: There was potential for more to be explored even in this version, which despite some genuinely powerful scenes sometimes forces the plot too abruptly and uses voice-over and metaphors in an overly obvious way. At times the sentimentality also becomes intrusive, at the expense of authentic emotions.

-
3 / 5
Translated from swedish: As a whole, I had hoped to be more moved by what is fundamentally a powerful story. Still, it has turned out to be a strong tale with a wonderfully bold female lead.
- Björn G StenbergSwedish: unt.se »
-
3 / 5
Translated from swedish: I think those who are already familiar with the material might appreciate the new adaptation better, since they can fill in the gaps that arise when important dialogue has had to make way for all the quick turns. But if the goal is to introduce a new crowd to the story, then I think most people will get lost along the way.

-
3 / 5
Translated from swedish: "Far From The Madding Crowd" is a classic love story with a high degree of relatability. The tale of Bathsheba's romantic troubles offers suspense, drama, and insights into how things can unfold when we choose our life partners.

Translated from swedish: "Far From The Madding Crowd" is not my cup of tea.
