Critic Reviews for Brideshead Revisited Miniseries
All Critics (5) | Top Critics (4) | Fresh (4) | Rotten (1)
With one exception, the main characters in Brideshead grow and change, with multiple dimensions that are not just a response to external events but are driven from within.
Brideshead is the richest thing we have tasted for some time.
While the story sometimes meanders and the tone varies from brisk to dreary, the superb cast and beautiful production design meld the sprawling 11-hour project into a unified whole.
I found and still find [it] insufferable.
Instead of spelling out every plot detail, the screenplay asks the audience to take the information and to draw their own conclusions.
