Far from the Madding Crowd Ratings & Reviews
Harper's Magazine
Robert Kotlowitz
There is so little authentic feeling in Far From the Madding Crowd.
Vogue
Judith Crist
I expected a movie to make me stand up and cheer or at least sit up and take notice. Instead it's curl-up and doze-fitfully time.
Los Angeles Free Press
Gene Youngblood
I haven't walked out on a film in years; it was a depressing experience.
ColeSmithey.com
Cole Smithey
[VIDEO ESSAY] Visually lush, and powerfully acted by a quartet of England's finest actors, John Schlesinger's "Far From the Madding Crowd" is admirable in spite of its imprecise narrative focus and flaws in its direction.
Chicago Reader
Dave Kehr
Thomas Hardy was not the most dynamic novelist in English literature, but this sluggish 1967 film still does him a serious disservice.
TV Guide
This is a predictable story that Schlesinger struggles to keep fresh and moving.
TIME Magazine
[Schlesinger] displays the best sense of Victorian time and place since David Lean in Great Expectations.
Variety
Variety Staff
Christie has few real opportunities to branch out of her rather muted and pouty lead.
New York Times
Bosley Crowther
Pictorially excessive but dramatically barren.
Las Vegas Mercury
Anthony Del Valle
A stunning-looking Julie Christie running about Thomas Hardy's countryside is the major excuse for John Schlesinger's under-dramatized picture postcard.
Chicago Sun-Times
Roger Ebert
Alan Bates, in a change of pace, is the loyal shepherd. Terence Stamp is a suitably vile Sgt. Troy, and Peter Finch makes Boldwood strong and honorable in his love for Bathsheba.
