Entertainment Reviews:
4 stars out of 4 -- [A] film seething with anger, passion, greed and emotional violence. That the characters are generally well-behaved says less about their manners than their inhibitions.
Chicago Sun-Times
It is an intelligent movie, a good movie, about real and not fake issues. And it moves the heart.

The New York Review of Books
Rating: 5/5 --
One of the best Merchant Ivory productions and one of the finest adaptations of an EM Forster novel.
Full Review
Daily Express (UK)
[T]here's grace and surprising bursts of emotion in the telling...starting with Thompson's magnificent performance as a well-meaning middle-class matron caught between worlds.
A.V. Club
[A]n achingly poignant literary adaptation....The performances remain fresh and appallingly human...
Entertainment Weekly
...[The film] crackles with repressed energy....Acting honours go to Bonham Carter and Hopkins...
Total Film
...This is the year's most literate and civilized film...
Chicago Sun-Times
Product Description:
E.M. Forster's 1910 novel is adapted for the screen by Merchant Ivory Productions in this masterful Edwardian Age romance directed by James Ivory. The dying Ruth Wilcox (Vanessa Redgrave) wishes to leave her country home, Howards End, to Margaret Schlegel (Emma Thompson in an Academy Award-winning role), a modest woman of little means who will soon be forced out of her own home in London. But Ruth's husband, Henry (Anthony Hopkins), an upper middle class businessman, keeps secret her desire even after he and Margaret become friends. However, after Henry and Margaret marry, their class differences and philosophies threaten to cause them unhappiness. Margaret's sister, Helen (Helena Bonham Carter), is disgusted by the Wilcox's snobbish ways and is attracted to helping struggling clerk Leonard Bast (Sam West) improve his position. Merchant-Ivory screenwriter Ruth Prawer Jhabvala was the force behind adapting this Forster novel into a film, winning her second Academy Award for her screenplay; her first Oscar was for A ROOM WITH A VIEW.
