Maurice review – Merchant Ivory’s EM Forster adaptation richer than ever

Hugh Grant and James Wilby star in this intensely poignant story of two young men forced to deny their love. Guardian, 26 July 2018.

‘Maurice is a revelation … a candid, lucid, passionate film.’

Very nice indeed to see a great 5-star review for Maurice from Peter Bradshaw, following his rather mysterious dismissal of it in his 5-star review of Call Me By Your Name last year. :)

PSA about the women of Maurice: Anne isn’t ‘Maurice’s sister’! And it’s a shame Bradshaw doesn’t namecheck the great Billie Whitelaw, Kitty Aldridge and Helena Michell (as Maurice’s actual mother and sisters) along with Judy Parfitt and Helena BC..
