With intensity and resolve, stonemason Jude Fawley (Christopher Eccleston) aspires to get a college education, but circumstances work against his bookish ambitions in director Michael Winterbottom's haunting adaptation of Thomas Hardy's final novel, Jude the Obscure. Kate Winslet co-stars as the lovely liberated cousin Jude falls in love with, and Rachel Griffiths plays the farmer's daughter who tricks him into matrimony.

Top Rotten Tomatoes Critics: The problem here isn't grimness but a failure to make grimness wrench the heart.
