As in all Ivory films, the movie has a delightful pace, as if the director were enjoying himself so much that he wanted to take maximum care with each frame of celluloid so that his audience could share his pleasure.

If amusing, "A Room With a View" is little more than a lark, a series of skits, a two-hour tribute to the rich British eccentric.

The film's charms are many but they are not the sort that resonate with any aspect of human behaviour with which I am familiar. When you get this English, or this Edwardian, or, rather, late Victorian, really, it's like science fiction, I suppose.

A 19-year-old Helena Bonham Carter makes her striking film debut.

A thoroughly entertaining screen adaptation of novelist E.M. Forster's comedy of manners about the Edwardian English upper class at home and abroad, distinguished by superb ensemble acting, intelligent writing and stunning design.

Merchant Ivory's first artistic and commercial hit is a light, well-acted, nicely mounted comedy of manners based on Forster's classic novel; Daniel Day-Lewis steals all of his scenes

Decent, honest, truthful and, dearest of all to Forster, it connects.

James Ivory directs this gentle, poetic, comic film with grace and passion for its characters in this adaptation of the E.M. Forster novel.

It's hard to imagine better source material for the mannered Merchant-Ivory team than E M Forster, and this is an example of British period film making at its best.
