Critical reception
Will Joyner of The New York Times wrote a positive review of the adaptation: "Strangely, and to its great credit, this new Far From the Madding Crowd, which was produced by Granada Television in Britain and WGBH-TV in Boston, does not simply survive the viewer's tendency to compare and second-guess; it thrives upon it. At almost every turn of the deliciously gradual tale of romantic chaos, the new version is just as visually striking as the 1967 film -- some of the locations are virtually identical -- and is more naturally rendered dramatically, with a rough language truer to Hardy's blend of poetry and rural speech."[1]
gollark: 8 seconds of video at reasonable bitrate is about 1MB.
gollark: Videos are VERY big.
gollark: Well, yes, but this is actually bad.
gollark: No, I mean adaptive bitrate streaming to the clients, to deal with varying network connections.
