Tamara Drewe (2010)
Country: GB
Technical: col/2.35:1 111m
Director: Stephen Frears
Cast: Gemma Arterton, Roger Allam, Bill Camp, Dominic Cooper, Tamsin Greig
Synopsis:
A writers' retreat in rural Dorset is the setting for sexual jealousy and infidelity when a local girl returns to sell the family farm and crosses swords with the local celebrity author, a touring rock drummer and two bored, sexed-up schoolgirls.
Review:
Tautly written and carefully judged big screen adaptation of a graphic novel somewhere between Cold Comfort Farm and Wish You Were Here. The performances are set nicely between broad farce and serious drama, so that characters retain their value as portraits of recognisable human beings.
