Lovely in look and tone. Amanda Donohoe is wonderful, though she looks a bit odd as a blonde. Could D.H. Lawrence really have intended Ursula to be such a pouty twat? I think not. Pauline Kael sums it up: "As Ursula Brangwen, who (in the novel) yearns for sexual and spiritual union, Sammi Davis seems merely petulant. One of the pioneering feminist heroines--a woman who represents an advance on previous generations, a woman on a quest--has been turned into a snippy, closed-off brat."
