Critics' reviews

"The fun that Schlesinger and his first-rate ensemble must have had while working on this production is infectious, for there isn't one dull -- or quiet -- moment in the film."

Emanuel Levy: Variety
"Dour, eccentric and very funny"

Roger Ebert: Chicago Sun-Times
"'Cold Comfort Farm' may be hysterically funny to regular readers of Hardy, Lawrence, Jane Austen and the Bronte sisters, but it won't ring many bells for the rest of us."

Edward Guthmann: SFgate
"The filmmakers have done a beautiful job of preserving the satirical snap of Gibbons's original. But the real joy of Cold Comfort Farm is watching these actors play so freely and exuberantly"

Hal Hinson: The Washington Post
