Director Julian Jarrold's lackluster adaptation of the classic Evelyn Waugh novel fails to capture the complex themes that the classic TV series brilliantly captured. Instead we get quick highlights that fails to make any impression at all. The story set before the WW II about an impressionable young British artist whose friendship and love with an aristocratic siblings changes his life forever. The hot and young cast that includes Matthew Goode (Match Point) and Ben Whishaw (Bright Star) also fail to make any impression while the veterans Emma Thompson and Michael Gambon manage to make the most of their brief scenes.
