A faithful and moving rendition of a monumental novel - Sons and Lovers review by CP Customer
Whittaker pays superb tribute to Lawrence in this moving portrayal of the different kinds of love.
As with all Lawrence, the key theme is one of class and the breakdown of traditional values, and the film maintains the novel's moral core, whilst presenting a beautiful and moving cinematic landscape.
A must-watch for all Lawrence fans, however it is longer than 3 hours, so not recommended for a Friday night.
