Saw it yesterday on the plane back to DC from San Francisco. Well enough. Mainly, the soundtrack is good, and the male and female protagonists are quite eye-catching. The 19th century English countryside scenery is also enjoyable to watch. As for the plot itself, it's a little too dramatic for me. In particular, the heroine fell in love with and married that soldier, which is simply a model of self-inflicted sin. . .
Far from the Madding Crowd quotes

Sergeant Troy: This woman, dead as she is, is more to me than you ever were, or are, or can be. You are nothing to me now. Nothing.

[first lines]
Bathsheba Everdene: [narrating] "Bathsheba Everdene." "Bathsheba." The name has always sounded strange to me. I don't like to hear it said out loud. My parents died when I was very young, so there's no one to ask where it came from. I've grown accustomed to being on my own. Some say even too accustomed. Too independent.
