10/10
Convincing portrait of social decline
23 July 2002
An excellent and faithful adaptation of Evelyn Waugh's novel, featuring fine performances from a notable cast. Kristin Scott Thomas' reception of the news of the death of her son is widely, and justly, famed (BTW is it Kristin, not Kristen and certainly not Kirsten). Alec Guinness is suitable malevolent, and James Wilby is fine as the well-meaning but helpless Tony.
