Trishna of the d'Urbervilles

Trishna (2011)

Directed by Michael Winterbottom this film based on Tess of the d'Urbervilles stars Freida Pinto and Riz Ahmed. A 19 year old girl from a poor family in India begins a relationship with the rich son of a hotel owner who takes advantage of her.

Competent through out this is a decent film but never much more than that. It takes a while for this film to get going and there are times when I found it hard to understand why Trishna returns to her abuser. The performances and direction are decent but some how this film never really takes off.


3/5
