One wonders why this film had to be made. Whether this was the fault of the filmmakers or is inherent to the novel is irrelevant. The defining tragedy here nearly broke this viewer's heart, but was telegraphed long before the actual events unfolded. Maybe this suffers from comparison to the last film this viewer watched (and reviewed) which chose an entirely different approach to a long novel and achieved a brilliant result. So much of this seemed glossed over, with Jude's (Christopher Eccleston) seduction by, marriage to, and separation from Arabella (Rachel Griffith) taking place in the first ten minutes. This viewer felt as though this were the Cliff Notes version of Hardy's weighty tome. One of the strongest actors working in film today, she is radiantly beautiful, even in this overpoweringly sad adaptation of Jude the Obscure by Thomas Hardy. Only because of Kate Winslet do I round this up to four stars. Movie Jude trailer, watch full movie Jude online, download Jude movie now, film Jude trailer, trailer film Jude.
