	Author	Review
United States	Tim Goodman The Hollywood Reporter	"Fresh, focused, with great performances (...) It succeeds in feeling more 'modern' primarily thanks to two outstanding performances by Hayley Atwell and Philippa Coulthard"	POS
United Kingdom	Lucy Mangan The Guardian	"It is a timely remake (...) The question at the core of Forster’s work (...) has perhaps never been as relevant since he first posed it"	POS
United Kingdom	Gerard O'Donovan Telegraph	"'Howards End' radiated quality at every turn (...) Fresh, contemporary and relevant (…) Rating: ★★★★★ (out of 5)"	POS
United States	Ben Travers IndieWire	"For the extraordinary work done by Lonergan and director Hettie MacDonald, Hayley Atwell makes an equally indelible impact in the lead role"	POS
United States	Verne Gay Newsday	"Period piece seems dated (...) Hettie Macdonald’s intelligent, sensible direction works overtime to visually adapt Forster’s intentions (…) Rating: ★★½ (out of 4)"	NEU
United States	Matthew Gilbert Boston Globe	"[It] makes excellent use of the extra time that TV affords to add extra layers of detail (...) Atwell is extraordinary"	POS
United States	Sonia Saraiya Variety	"[It] is impeccably cast and studiously performed. But the bones of the production (...) lacks the impeccable grace and subtlety of both the earlier adaptation and the source material."	NEU
United States	David Wiegand SFGATE	"The Starz adaptation is excellent on so many levels (...) Lonergan’s script is simply stunning"	POS
