1/10
Dull and a bit goofy.
3 December 2022
After having seen at least four previous adaptations, this really is the worst of the lot. This film did not convey the story D. H. Lawrence is telling in his novel. It was about as erotic as a pound of ground beef. The nudity is done in a silly manner, especially involving the male. Nothing enticing or smoldering about him. In fact, I found both leads utterly unappealing with and without clothes. Where was the famous gardener showering scene that originally stirs her loins in the first place? This movie is lacking in so many areas. It was all so generic and bland. If you want to see this story on film, then stick to the previous versions or just read the novel which is a thousand times better than any filmed adaptation. Even "Young Lady Chatterley's Lover" conveys more of the story than this dreck and the color palette of this film is just dreadful. Just like the film itself, it's dreary and dull. Heed my warning and skip this snoozefest. Very disappointing.
