Editorial Review:
Description:
Rupert Graves, Toby Stephens and Tara Fitzgerald star in this Peabody Award and BAFTA winning BBC Adaptation of the Anne Brontë novel. Powerful, haunting and disturbing, The Tenant of Wildfell Hall is as powerful a story as those of Brontë’s more famous sisters. In a remote village on the Yorkshire moors, a beautiful widow and her son move into the near-derelict Wildfell Hall. Befriended by a handsome young farmer, she remains mysteriously silent about her past and why she is afraid – until she becomes the focus of malicious village gossip.

The BBC adaptation of Anne Bronte's moral tale The Tenant of Wildfell Hall will be a delight to those who revel in classics brought to the screen. Tara Fitzgerald stars as Helen Graham, a secretive woman who seeks independence for herself and her son from her cruel husband, Arthur Huntingdon. Huntingdon, a rake taken with women and drink, is played to perfection by Rupert Graves, believable as both the young lover who seduces Helen and as the depraved and brutish man he becomes. Toby Stephens is Gilbert Markham, the suspicious yet adoring yeoman farmer smitten with the supposed widow. The scenery and costumes of this period piece are lush, although the use of flashback as a narrative device is at times jarring. This tale is darker than the Jane Austen adaptations that BBC audiences are used to, yet the two-part film has an ending satisfying enough for even the most cynical of romantics. --Jenny Brown

As a fan of British period films - I expected this Anne Bronte film to be whimsical like many BBC productions - but was pleasantly surprised at the haunting darkness of the story.
The lead female, played by Tara Fitzgerald, is almost repulsive in her abrasive and aloof character at first... but then as you discover her story, you are heartened by her strength and courage.
Rupert Graves is convincingly detestable in his role as the lover, turned abusive and monstrous husband. ... Read More

Although I've never considered the book particularly dark,at times situations are bleak while character is being built and challenges overcome. Here in the movie version of the tale,however,there seems to be a focus on all the dark challenges while minoring on the beautiful character outcomes that grow from making honorable choices. Too bad. The actors and sets are great.

I Read this Bronte novel 1st and then found the movie. Actually, I found Toby Stephens and knew I had to have to movie! He is an excellent Gilbert! And, it's one of his movies easily available in the states with a happy ending. (Hope I didn't give it away, but that only means he's still alive at the end!)
There are a few scenes in the movie version that are out of order and change the meaning from the book. I understand that to make a good movie, some creative license must be allowed. ... Read More

getting my wife out of my hair by watching this. From a guy's perspective, this stuff is as boring as watching grass grow... in fact, I'd rather sit and watch grass grow than watch this! Only good to send men to sleep in a hurry :)

I enjoyed this BBC series (The Tenant of Wildfell Hall). I wanted to see more of Toby Stephens' work after being blown away by his performance as Edward Rochester in the BBC's 2006 version of "Jane Eyre". I checked out the video cassette from my public library several times before the DVD became available earlier this year.
Since seeing the series I've read the book by Anne Bronte several times. The deviations from the book don't bother me that much - I feel the series is true to the spirit ... Read More
