I haven't read the book, but watching the first episode of the TV adaptation I felt like I was reading the first chapter of a book. It creates a dreamy mood that smoothly blends the present with the past, and gets you hooked quickly. Amy Adams is one of the finest actresses of her generation, and despite (or because of?) her deliberately grungy and un-made-up appearance here, one of the most naturally beautiful as well. *** out of 4.
