Review of Tess

Tess (1979)
5/10
Poor
11 January 2004
Tess is a mute and vague character, we never get to know her, and that bored me to dust. She looks like a 21st century silicone-lips beauty queen just out of a make-up commercial. And she's supposed to be the daughter of a poor family and with an alcoholic father. She's not that kind at all.

Her clothes is too expensive and neat for a working girl, and her accent is wrong just to mention a few annoying details.

The film is extremely slow and extremely predictable. Nothing stirs the viewer's emotions one bit. There is not a laughter or a cry.

Just silly costumes and fake and non-beliable characters and actions.
