Tamara Drewe

"Adapted from a comicstrip-turned-graphic novel by Posy Simmonds, which was itself based on Thomas Hardy's "Far From the Madding Crowd," picture represents a satirical but soft-biting swipe at contempo middle-class mores among Blighty's chattering countryside classes."

"A delightful frolic that goes down easier than chilled rosé on a sunny summer afternoon."

"There is something shallow and cautious about this film, which strains to maintain a glib, cheery demeanor that is not always appropriate to the details of the story."

"Tamara Drewe is one of those British comedies in which, one way or another, we envy all of the characters"

"Jaunty and entertaining."

"Think The Archers with a sprinkling of trendier folk and a lot more shagging. Very intelligently funny, with stellar performances."
