Tamara Drewe

Gorgeous scenery and cinematography highlight this entertaining, funny, delightfully charming comedy of manners based on Posy Simmonds' novel and inspired by Thomas Hardy's 19th-century classic Far From the Madding Crowd in which a formerly insecure, comely British journalist (Gemma Arterton) raises several male libidos when she returns home to her idyllic English countryside and a conclave of writers (Bill Camp, et al.) and finds herself trying to make her former bullying lover (Luke Evans) jealous, seducing a smitten murder mystery novelist (Roger Allam) who has a habit of cheating on his hardworking wife (Tamsin Greig), and becoming engaged to a makeup wearing drummer (Dominic Cooper) on the rebound from a band mate while two bored, teenage schoolgirls (Jessica Barden and Charlotte Christie) make her the center of their pranks.
