	Author	Review
United Kingdom	Xan Brooks The Guardian	"A bold and distinctive approach (...) Her line in creative vandalism rips off the layers of fluffy chiffon that have adhered to the tale through the course of numerous stage and screen adaptations (...) Rating: ★★★ (out of five)"	POS
United States	Claudia Puig USA Today	"This impressionistic take includes some strikingly authentic visuals, but the acting is lackluster and the languorous story often sinks into tedium with its focus on the minutiae of country life (...) Rating: ★★ (out of four)"	NEU
United States	A. O. Scott The New York Times	"An admirable, frustrating attempt to strip away the novel's inherited 'classic' status and restore its raw and earthy passion"	POS
