eye Weekly Jason Anderson While Tamara Drewe may owe a few strands of DNA to Thomas Hardy’s Far from the Madding Crowd, this British movie is not one for putting on literary airs. Instead, director Stephen Frears pitches his adaptation of Posy Simmonds’ Hardy-inspired Guardian newspaper comic strip as a breezy provincial farce. | 10 | |
