Critic Reviews of "Tess"
VarietyFebruary 19, 2010Tess is a sensitive, intelligent screen treatment of a literary masterwork.
Time OutJune 24, 2006Tess tells one rather more about its director's much publicised preoccupations than about Hardy's themes.
New York TimesMay 20, 2003Without Mr. Polanski's name in the credits, this lush and scenic Tess could even be mistaken for the work of David Lean.
Chicago ReaderJanuary 01, 2000een in the context of Roman Polanski's career it becomes something rich and strange, shaded into terror by the naturalistic absurdism that is the basis of Polanski's style.
Creative LoafingApril 18, 2014Roman Polanski is one of those men who, despite his icky treatment of women in real life, manages to create strong and compelling female characters for the screen.
The DissolveFebruary 25, 2014The film, like its source, is filled with pessimistic fatalism, but it spares no pity for the instruments of fate [...] What, if anything, this meant to Polanski remains unknowable.
TV GuideFebruary 19, 2010Visually, Tess is a masterpiece, capturing in amazing detail the scenery and atmosphere of the England of yore. The film's chief drawback, however, is its lack of vitality.
EmanuelLevy.ComJanuary 08, 2007Though not one of Polanski's best features, this adaptation of Thomas Hardy's challenging novel, Tess of the D'Urbervilles, is intelligent if flawed, but it's nice to look at due to excellent production values, particularly cinematography.
